Magellan was formed in 1996 from the remains of
Fleet Industries
, a subsidiary of the US-based
Fleet Aerospace
located in
Fort Erie, Ontario
. They produced products and services for the Canadian military, as well as subassemblies for aviation companies.
Through the 1990s, Magellan expanded, buying a number of Canadian aviation companies. These included:
Several US companies were also added, including
Aeronca
Magellan Aerospace Middleton, (formerly part of the US-based portions of Fleet), AMBEL Precision Manufacturing, Ellanef Manufacturing, (Magellan Aerospace New York) Middleton Aerospace (Magellan Aerospace, Haverhill) and
Presto Casting Company
(Magellan Aerospace, Glendale). They also purchased the assets of Mayflower Aerospace in England, becoming Magellan Aerospace UK in 2003.
The Fleet Aerospace division was closed in 2003, was sold, and later re-opened as
Fleet Canada Inc
. Magellan Aerospace is now an integrated, international company and all of its subsidiaries are wholly owned, operating under the Magellan name.
