Eurocopter Reinforces
Its Proximity to Customers
By Lutz Bertling, President and CEO of Eurocopter
Reinforcing our proximity to customers remains one of our strategic priorities
as we believe we can best support your success by being close to you. With
this in mind, we are continuing to make investments to best meet your needs.
In all the countries in which we are based, our goal is to generate more added
value locally and to significantly improve your overall satisfaction. With an
increase in resources and a reinforced international presence, Eurocopter will
be in a better position to serve you for all of your activities.
Our strategy has become a reality over the years, the latest examples being the
creation of Eurocopter UK in 2007, the takeover in 2008 of the German company Motorflug specialized in
maintenance, repair and overhaul activities, and the acquired majority shareholding in Helibras, our Brazilian
subsidiary. This year, Japan has been our focus for major investments. We have created a subsidiary to handle
our commercial and industrial activities in Japan and tasked it with providing you top-notch support for all
civil and military missions you perform with Eurocopter helicopters. Through these recent acquisitions, we
have become the first foreign company in the aeronautics industry to have an industrial presence in Japan.
Our long-term presence in Japan and the strong relationship we have built together over the last forty years
has paved the way for continued sustainable growth and development in the country.
These investments are in line with our strategy of international deployment whose objective is to reinforce our
presence in all of the key markets for Eurocopter. The success of your missions is our ambition.
