"Bombardier was founded by Joseph-Armand Bombardier as "L'Auto-Neige
Bombardier Limitée" (loosely translated to "Bombardier Snow Car Limited") on
July 10, 1942. In 1967 L'Auto-Neige Bombardier Limitée was renamed Bombardier
Limited. In 1970 Bombardier acquired the Austrian company Lohner-Rotax, a
manufacturer of snowmobile engines and tramways, and became involved with rail
business. In 1986, Bombardier acquired Canadair after the Canadian
government-owned aircraft manufacturing company recorded the largest corporate
loss in Canadian history. Shortly thereafter, de Havilland Canada, Short
Brothers and Learjet operations were absorbed by the aerospace arm. In 2001
Bombardier acquired Adtranz (DaimlerChrysler Rail Systems), a manufacturer of
trains. Bombardier Capital (BC) was the Bombardier division in charge of
financial services from 1973 to 2005 when it ceased to exist. Its current
strcuture is encompassed by:
- Bombardier Business Aircraft
