Daring To Compete

Magellan Aerospace Delivers Quality...

Magellan Aerospace (known locally in Manitoba as Bristol Aerospace Limited) has been operating in Winnipeg for almost 80 years and currently employs 650 people in their 700,000 square foot plant and aircraft hangars. The company also operates a Composite Manufacturing Centre in the city as well as the Rockwood Propellant Plant located 30 kilometres north of Winnipeg.

Magellan manufactures, designs and develops products for three specific business areas; the Aerostructures business, the Aeroengine business and the Defence and Space business.

According to Don Boitson, Vice-President and General Manager, 95% of the company's products are exported around the world to countries in United States, Europe, Asia and Africa, and it's essential to know and understand what is happening in that global marketplace.

Boitson says "We have to keep pace with the right technology; whether it's capital equipment, Lean training or manufacturing processes...making sure we have the workforce that is trained and able to take advantage of those technologies to keep us competitive."

The company believes that adherence to a strong commitment of innovative design, manufacturing quality products that are defect free and delivering exceptional value and service to customers will continue to make Magellan a successful competitor in the global aerospace marketplace.
