AlliedSignal Aerospace Canada is a unit of AlliedSignal Canada Inc. an advanced technology company with worldwide businesses in aerospace, automotive products, chemicals, fibres, plastic, and advanced engineered materials. Originally established to support AlliedSignal's corporate products in Canada, AlliedSignal Aerospace has developed its resources and capabilities, and also internationally markets its own products, systems, and services. It has developed into an acknowledged leader in the specialized fields of electronic environmental control systems, window heat control systems, de-icing/anti-icing systems, communication systems, electro-optics, aircraft engine controls and accessories, power management and generation systems, space products, and support services.

AlliedSignal Canada began as two separate Canadian companies, Garrett Canada and Bendix Avelex. In 1952, the Garrett Corporation, based in the United States, established a sales office in Montreal, offering the products and services of AiResearch Manufacturing Company of California. Three years later, it opened a repair and overhaul facility in Toronto to deal with the increasing level of business and Garrett's commitment to provide responsive and meaningful support of its products marketed in Canada.
 

The company's 100K space clean room enhances its global reputation for leading edge manufacturing and stae-of-the-art space products.

The limited manufacture of avionics was initiated in 1956, and in 1960, Garrett Canada, as it was then known, obtained the contract to build the central air data computer for the CF-104 aircraft. After creating the technology base and capability to manufacture and test highly sophisticated electronic systems, the company acquired the World Product Mandate for the complete electronic temperature control systems product line. Since this transfer, these and many other products have been designed, developed, and manufactured exclusively in Canada and sold worldwide as major aircraft subsystems.

In 1989, Garrett Canada combined with Bendix Avelex to establish AlliedSignal Aerospace Canada. Bendix Aviation was first begun in Montreal in 1931 as Aviation Electric Limited. Growing into a worldclass supplier of high-technology defence electronics, aerospace products and services, in 1985 it became Bendix Avelex Inc.

With customers around the world, AlliedSignal Aerospace Canada has become a major participant in the complex international arena of today's aerospace industry. Through international collaboration in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East, AlliedSignal Aerospace Canada is an experienced partner in multinational programs. The company's international activities span a wide range of intricate products and technologies in both commercial aerospace and defence programs.

Employing more than 1,600 Canadians, AlliedSignal Aerospace Canada has full-service operations in Toronto and Montreal; a regional airliner service centre at Summerside, Prince Edward Island; and an Aeromarine facility based in Richmond, British Columbia. Furthermore, the company has developed extensive repair and overhaul facilities at three locations across Canada.

AlliedSignal Aerospace Canada became an industry leader through its ongoing mission to exceed beyond the technical, quality, and reliability requirements of its customers. The company's dedication to customer satisfaction and a focus on quality, people, commitments have generated growth through innovative new product developments which will propel it into the future.
