Its called a conglomerate, a corporation that buys or generates daughter corporations in a variety of sectors much the same way stock investors invest in a variety of sectors so the losses in any particular sector are asorbed by the gains in the other sectors.
Even microsoft, disney, coca-cola probably make weapons.
If you research any particular corporation you will see that its either property of a large conglomerate or its the parent conglomerate. Remember 90% of the world's wealth is held by 15% of the population.
Osh-gosh, a baby clothing manufacturer, makes the majority of modern military truck these days.
Typically if you or your corporation has unspent cash and you can get a government contract, building a factory and starting production is trivial.

Weren't a few US. factories converted during the World War II era to manufacture weapons? - Or was that a movie I watched? 
They probably designed those weapons for that reason.. makes sense.. retrofit an existing factory to mass produce weapons/supplies during a war.
(Not that I at all support war or weapons, Both are silly..)

This reminds me of Goodyear. I associate it with tires, but they made most of their money off of blimps during WWII and now they're experimenting with spacecrafts.
