Bombardier: Official Sponsor, Los Angeles

Bombardier has a long history of investment and success in the United States. They employ more than 7,000 people at 37 facilities across the country, including four manufacturing sites, 26 service centers, two parts distribution centers, two maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities and one equipment refurbishment center.

Bombardier Aerospace’s installed aircraft fleet in the U.S. totals approximately 3,700 aircraft, including more than 1,200 Q-Series and CRJ Series aircraft in service with airlines and other operators, and more than 2,300 business jets. 

Bombardier entered the U.S. rail transportation market in 1976 and won its first major U.S. contract for 825 subway cars in New York City in 1982. In the mid-1980s, they significantly strengthened their engineering resources and their ability to serve the North American market by acquiring Pullman Technology of Chicago and the assets and designs of Philadelphia-based Transit America, the mass transit equipment division of the Budd Company.

Today, Bombardier's rail business employs US workers in locations across 15 states. This includes manufacturing sites outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and in Plattsburgh, New York that build rail products for both domestic and export markets.
