When it comes to manufacturing and producing top of the line civil and military helicopters Eurocopter had become Europe’s leader as a fully integrated aeronautical group. Eurocopter was created in 1992 when the company merged between the helicopter divisions of Aerospatiale-matra (France) and DaimlerChrysler Aerospace (Germany). Since then the Eurocopter group is now a subsidiary owned by European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company, which is considered one of the three aerospace groups in the world. As of today Eurocopter is composed of three entities. The first entity is the parent company, which is referred to Eurocopter. The Second entity is the German subsidiary, Eurocopter Deutschland. The third and last entity is the Spanish subsidiary, Eurocopter Espana. All of these entities have a unified command structure enabling Eurocopter to be the leader at producing helicopters.
