Business Summary
The Eurocopter group was born in 1992 from the merger between the helicopter divisions of Aerospatiale-matra (France) and DaimlerChrysler Aerospace (Germany). The group is now a subsidiary owned 100% by EADS (European Aeronautic, Defense and Space Company), one of the three largest aerospace groups in the world. By a process of successive integrations, Eurocopter has become Europe's leading fully integrated aeronautical group, there being at present only three entities: the parent company, Eurocopter, the German subsidiary, Eurocopter Deutschland and the third pillar,Eurocopter Espaņa. This ultimate configuration has enabled the group to have unified command structures, while at the same time respecting the national identities of the partner nations.
