History
The company was created on November 30 1999. On this date Marconi Electronic Systems (MES) and British Aerospace (BAe) merged to form BAE Systems. Their respective subsidiaries in the USA, Marconi North America and British Aerospace North America, were similarly merged to form BAE Systems North America. Marconi Electronic Systems (MES), or GEC-Marconi as it was until 1998, was the defence arm of The General Electric Company (GEC). ...
British Aerospace (BAe) was a UK aircraft manufacturer, now part of BAE Systems. ...
In the company's 2003 Annual Report the Chairman sums up BAE Systems' strategy since the merger:
- "In recent years BAE Systems has undergone a radical transformation from a UK-based aircraft manufacturer to a broadly-based systems business. Through this transformation the company has achieved a more balanced portfolio and geographic spread."
While BAE Systems already had significant interests in North America as a result of the aforementioned merger, in the period described above almost all of the company's growth had been concentrated in the US. BAE Systems North America has grown to the point where its sales to the (American) Department of Defense have surpassed those to the (British) Ministry of Defence. BAE Systems is now by far the largest foreign investor in the US defence industry.
