History of Boeing in Australia
Boeing began working in Australia through its subsidiary Boeing Aerostructures Australia, which was formerly known as de Havilland Australia and established in 1927. Boeing acquired de Havilland Australia in 2000, and prior to this Boeing’s first direct investment in Australia came through its acquisition of the Rockwell International in 1996. Rockwell Australia became Boeing Australia Ltd (now Boeing Defence Australia) in 1996.
The five remaining subsidiaries were acquired as follows: Jeppesen Australia and Jeppesen Marine in 2000, Alteon in 2002, Aviall in 2006 and Insitu Pacific in 2009.
