Green and Intelligent Supply Chain

 

On April 4th, the managers of the Green and Intelligent Supply Chain workgroup held a reflection on the future supply strategies of major manufacturers in Quebec. Discussions will be used to launch new initiatives to support the Quebec supply chain. Bombardier, Pratt & Whitney, CAE and Bell were all present at the meeting.

 

Cynthia Garneau leaves presidency of Bell for new horizons as President and Chief Executive Officer of VIA Rail Canada!

 

Ms. Garneau served as President of Bell Helicopter Textron Canada for more than three years. The presence of a woman at the head of one of the largest aerospace OEMs in Québec is something to be proud of, especially in a largely male-dominated industry. Among her major achievements at the helm of Bell, Ms. Garneau repatriated the production of the Bell 505 to the Mirabel plant.

On behalf of all Aéro Montréal members and Aéro Montréal employees, we would like to thank Cynthia for her many contributions to our cluster.
