Bombardier's Global business jets are recognized throughout the industry as the ultimate in design and performance. "The acquisition of the ExelTech facility positions us to better serve our customers with the highest quality completions for our flagship Global business aircraft," said Steve Ridolfi, President, Bombardier Business Aircraft.
Bombardier forecasts that the 115,000 sq.-ft. (10,684 sq.-m.) facility will be operational by the fall of 2010.
The acquisition of this facility from RSM Richter Inc., in its capacity of receiver of ExelTech Aerospace Inc., is subject to closing conditions including obtaining the approval of the Superior Court of Quebec, as is customary for this type of transaction.
