COBB Industries

COBB Industries is a Human commercial enterprise operating in and around Earth.

COBB Industries was involved in the construction of the Cairo Station, as several of their equipment containers were still in and around the station when the Master Chief visited it in 2552. They appeared to still be working on the Pelican launch bays and some of the exterior of the station when the Battle of Earth happened. It is likely that COBB Industries worked on several other orbital MAC platforms around Earth, and perhaps Reach as well.

COBB Industries equipment was also seen in various areas around New Mombasa and Old Mombasa, suggesting that the company was a large-scale construction company operating in the African area.

It is possible that the company is named after Jayne Cobb of the Firefly series, played by Adam Baldwin who voiced a UNSC marine in Halo 3. Or more likely, after COBB Manufacturing, a small arms manufacturer well known for their .50 caliber BMG sniper rifle.

Trivia

 * You can see a container on The Storm and Floodgate with "COBB Industries" printed on it. It's hanging in a crane in the roof. It's the only one in Halo 3, as the others have "Traxus Heavy Industries" printed on them instead.
