The
Eurocopter group was created in 1992 with the merger between the helicopter
divisions of Aerospatiale-matra (France) and DaimlerChrysler Aerospace
(Germany).
The
group is now a subsidiary owned 100% by EADS (European Aeronautic Defence
and Space Company), one of the three largest aerospace groups in the
world. By a process of successive integrations, Eurocopter has become
Europe's leading fully-integrated aeronautical group and is, at present,
composed of three entities: the parent company, Eurocopter, the German
subsidiary, Eurocopter Deutschland; and the Spanish subsidiary, Eurocopter
España. This ultimate configuration has enabled the group to
have unified command structures, while at the same time respecting the
national identities of the partner nations.
