AgustaWestland

AgustaWestland is an Italian manufacturer of helicopters.

General

The company was formed by the merger of the helicopter divisions of equal parts of the Italian Finmeccanica, Agusta, and the British GKN Westland Helicopters in July 2000.

On May 26, 2004 GKN confirmed that the shares were sold in the amount of 1.06 billion pounds to Finmeccanica; Since then the company is located entirely in Italian owned by Finmeccanica.

AgustaWestland took over in mid-2009, in the wake of the privatization program from 2008 to 2011 by the Polish Ministry of Finance, 87.6 percent of the Polish helicopter manufacturer PZL Świdnik for a price of just under 80 million euros.

In March 2013 AgustaWestland CEO Bruno Spadolini was asked in the course of criminal investigations for corruption, where even Finmeccanica CEO Giuseppe Orsi was detained under house arrest, as well as two other managers.
