Bombardier to buy Canadian factory from supplier Mitsubishi Heavy Industries
The purchase will bring about 750 employees in-house and add a 270,000-square-foot plant that makes wings for Bombardier jets.
- On Tuesday, Bombardier Inc. announced it will acquire MHI Canada Aerospace Inc.'s factory in Mississauga, Ontario, bringing wing manufacturing for its Global 5500 and 6500 aircraft in-house.
- The Montreal-based manufacturer previously outsourced this production to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, but the new agreement consolidates wing assembly, fuselage, and flight control operations under Bombardier's umbrella.
- Located near Toronto Pearson Airport, the 270,000-square-foot facility will see 750 Mitsubishi employees join Bombardier's roughly 18,000-person workforce.
- Martel noted the move aligns with a broader strategy to pursue acquisitions in aircraft services and defence as business jet demand grows and debt load decreases.
- Subject to regulatory approvals, the transaction is expected to close later this year, marking a significant step in Bombardier's long-term growth strategy.
