Leonardo Will Work Better Together Than Finmeccanica
The Italian aerospace group formerly known as Finmeccanica says the company will effectively operate following its reorganization under the name Leonardo.
Finmeccanica’s renaming as Leonardo is the obvious difference to its presence here, compared with two years ago. But according to senior marketeers at the Italian company, a reorganization to accompany the name change has greater significance. They say it will help the different divisions work better together, especially in understanding customer requirements.
Four of the seven divisions are primarily focused on the aerospace business. They are Aerostructures; Aircraft (the former Alenia and Aermacchi); Helicopters (the former AgustaWestland) and Airborne and Space Systems (including the former Selex ES). The other three divisions specialize in land and naval defense systems, and IT/communications.
