Bombardier is a Canadian-based aerospace and transportation company known for its top-of-the-line of regional airliners, business jets, and trains. Headquartered in Montreal, Bombardier employs more than 68,000 people working in 28 countries in the fields of Transportation, Business Aircraft, Commercial Aircraft and Aerostructures and Engineering Services. As of fiscal end 2018, the company earned a total of $16.2 billion in revenue. Before getting into modern transportation production, Bombardier was perhaps best known for inventing the snowmobile in the middle of the 20th Century. Company founder Joseph-Armand Bombardier was a mechanic who wanted to build a vehicle that could travel on the snow. He would eventually unveil his L’Auto-Neige Bombardier Limitée or Bombardier Snow Car Limited in 1942. Bombardier was primarily a snow equipment manufacturer until it entered the aviation industry with its purchase of Canadair in 1986. Today aircraft manufacturing accounts for more than half of Bombardier’s revenue thanks to aircraft such as its Q400, CRJ100/200/440, and CRJ700/900/1000 lines of regional airliners. Bombardier also draws revenue from its production of recreation vehicles, public transportation buses and passenger trains. In fact, its purchase of Adtranz made Bombardier Transportation one of the largest manufacturers of railway cars in the world. Bombardier is recognised on the 2019 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World Index.
