Dowty Equipment of Canada

Dowty Equipment (Canada) Ltd. opened its first office in Canada in October 1939 and moved from Montreal to Ajax, near Toronto, in 1949, following landing gear orders from Avro Canada

In 1954 Dowty Group was established as a holding company to hold the shares in Dowty Equipment; the Canadian operation generated 50 per cent of the total turnover.
