HISTORY
AgustaWestland was
an Anglo-Italian helicopter design
and manufacturing company,
which was a wholly owned
subsidiary of Finmeccanica (now
known as Leonardo). It was
formed in July 2000 as an
Anglo-Italian multinational
company, when Finmeccanica and GKN merged
their respective helicopter
subsidiaries (Agusta and Westland
Helicopters) to form
AgustaWestland, with each
holding a 50% share.
Finmeccanica acquired GKN's
stake in AgustaWestland in 2004.
In 2016, AgustaWestland was
merged into Leonardo
S.p.A. (formerly
Finmeccanica), where it became
the company's helicopters
division under the Leonardo
Helicopters brand. "AgustaWestland"
still exists as a subsidiary of
Leonardo but the AgustaWestland public
brand is no longer
promoted.
