Bombardier Inc. stock (ISIN CA0977512007) is in focus after the Montreal based business jet maker announced on September 1, 2026 that it will acquire the assets of MHI Canada Aerospace Inc. in Mississauga, Ontario, expanding its in house wing manufacturing capacity and supply chain resilience for Global jets.
MHICA deal strengthens manufacturing base
According to a Globe Newswire release dated September 1, 2026, Bombardier and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries reached an agreement under which Bombardier will acquire the assets of MHI Canada Aerospace Inc., bringing the Mississauga facility that produces major wing components for Global aircraft into Bombardier's own manufacturing network.
Coverage by Canadian media on September 1, 2026 reported that around 750 employees from MHI Canada Aerospace are expected to join Bombardier's approximately 18,000 person workforce once the acquisition closes later this year, underscoring the scale of the capacity addition and the integration challenge for management.
Strategic implications for business jet operations
Industry reports as of September 2, 2026 highlight that the Mississauga plant currently manufactures wings for Bombardier's Global 5500 and 6500 business jets, meaning the acquisition will move a key high value structural component from an outsourced supplier relationship to direct control, which can support margin resilience and scheduling flexibility in future production cycles.
Analysts note that internalizing wing production at a site near Toronto's Pearson airport reduces logistical friction between Bombardier's existing aircraft assembly center in Mississauga and its broader manufacturing footprint, and can help align capital expenditure and operational planning more closely with the company’s own delivery outlook for large cabin business jets.
