Was digging on EG&G yesterday and Wikipedia had this at the bottom of a longish article

wikipedia.org/wiki/EG%26G

 

Janet Airlines

 

EG&G's "Special Projects" division was the notable '''operator of the Janet Terminal at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, NV, a service used to transport employees to remote government locations in Nevada and California.

EG&G also had a joint venture with Raytheon Technical Services, creating JT3 LLC in 2000, which operates the Joint Range Technical Services contract.

 

EG&G no longer goes by that name.

 

1999–present

From 1999 until 2001, EG&G was wholly owned by The Carlyle Group.

In August 2002, the defense-and-services sector of the company was acquired by defense technical-services giant URS Corporation. URS' EG&G division is headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and employs over 11,000 people. During its heyday in the 1980s, EG&G had about 35,000 employees.

In December 2009, URS announced its decision to discontinue the use of "EG&G" as a division name. The headquarters issued a press release stating that by 1 January 2010, it would discontinue using secondary corporate brands, including the EG&G name and logo. In the same press release, URS stated that it would also retire two other acquired brands, Washington Group and Lear Siegler.

URS Chief Executive Officer Martin Koffel explained the change in an e-mail transmitted to employees: "In today’s marketplace, it is essential we present a consistent, unified brand to our customers and achieve the competitive advantages enjoyed by our peers in the industry. … This change will allow us to present a single brand that is easily understood by our clients."

Koffel indicated that the move to a single corporate brand would affect neither the internal organization nor the existing reporting structure. However, EG&G Division will become URS Federal Services.
