The AerospaceIndustry in Canada.
This article has been written to familiarize Swiss companies with the Canadian Aerospace
industry and to examine opportunities for trade and investment with Canada.
The aerospace industry is very signicant and is the fth largest in the world after the
United States, United Kingdom, France and Japan. The industry is comprised of many
Canadian and multi-national companies. Companies such as Boeing, Pratt and Whitney,
Textron, General Dynamics, ASCO and Thales have signicant manufacturing capability
in Canada. The Canadian owned industry component is large with companies such as
Bombardier Aerospace, Magellan, MDA, CAE, etc.
The industry with annual sales of $23.8 Billion is not limited to these very large
corporations. There is a supply chain in place to support the industry, whether in Canada
or other countries. This supply chain includes not only manufacturers, but also a very large
Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) capability that serves Canadian and International
airlines and the military.
The industry produces a broad variety of products and services. Table A shows the
contribution by each group of products, in addition to the areas within these categories
where the Canadian aerospace industry is recognized as a global leader.

As part of the diversication and expansion of industry in Alberta, a strong
Unmanned Vehicle Systems sector is emerging. This innovative niche is
expected to grow tremendously in the coming years because of its wide-ranging
applications for military and commercial uses.
The industry is supported by the Canadian Centre for Unmanned Vehicles in
Medicine Hat and by the Alberta technical institutes and universities.
Because of a small population and open land, Alberta can provide test ranges and
facilities, such as in Foremost.
Defence Electronics
Currently there are 12 Alberta rms in this sub-sector, employing approximately
1,200 highly qualied and skilled people. Sales are over $264 Million, 60% of which
are exported. Companies manufacture and provide maintenance for Canadian and
foreign militaries in these areas: secure tactical communications systems, software,
specialized sensors and other components in military applications.

13/14The Aerospace Industry in Canada 13
The Canadian aerospace industrys success has been developed through a
combination of factors including:
Using world-class technology and materials.
Investing heavily in machinery and equipment to ensure that costs are competitive
or lower than other producers.
An available educated and skilled work force.
The development of global export markets. While the US market is one of the
keys markets due to geographic closeness, joint programs, etc., there is global
recognition of Canadas aerospace capability.
The development of a wide network of research institutes and Universities.
Ongoing research being conducted within the industry. Company research
activities are encouraged by a generous system of tax credits.
Government support at all levels.
Low corporate tax.
Reduction and elimination of taris on all manufacturing inputs. Most were
eliminated in 2010, but completion will be in 2015.
Encouraging and supporting investment by international corporations to develop
operations in Canada.
The industry is acknowledged as a technology leader for the products made. Companies
work to a number of standards including ISO 9000 and AS9100.
The industry continues to grow and it is anticipated that Canadian sales will reach over $30
Billion by 2020. The momentum of this industry oers many opportunities for Swiss companies,
including the development of strategic alliances, direct investment and acquisition.
