Bombardier recreational and transportation products

Bombardier has a complex history evolving from a single snowmobile invention into a global leader in transport. Founded by Joseph-Armand Bombardier in Valcourt, Canada, the brand initially revolutionized winter travel. Over decades, it expanded into rail and aerospace sectors.

Today, the 'Bombardier' name is split between different entities. Bombardier Inc. focuses exclusively on business aviation, manufacturing its Global and Challenger aircraft series primarily in Canada, with facilities in Mexico and the United States. Meanwhile, the recreational products (BRP) and the rail division (sold to Alstom) operate under different corporate structures but share the same heritage. The brand represents a major symbol of Canadian industrial engineering and high-performance design.
