Boeing Canada Technology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boeing Canada Technology began in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1971 with 50 employees. The firm was enticed to open a facility in Winnipeg by the, then, Tory government's Deputy Minister for Economic Development, Lorne Dyke, who subsequently joined the firm, running the plant in the city.

The facility in Winnipeg is one of only five sites in North America producing components for Boeing aircraft and is the only Boeing site in Canada. After a slump following September 11, the aircraft industry in Winnipeg has bounced back and employment has once again reached 1,100.

The two Boeing locations in Winnipeg produce Boeing 737, Boeing 747, Boeing 767, Boeing 777, and Boeing 787 components.

Projected sales for Canada are expected to be $293 million CDN in 2006.
