Bombardier is busy rebuilding OMC engine business
Article Abstract:
Bombardier Recreational Products by the end of Apr 2001 was expected to announce its plans for resuming engine production at the former Outboard Marine Corp's (OMC) facilities. By mid-April, Montreal, Canada-based Bombardier already had brought in over 450 workers from within its own company and former OMC employees to oversee start-up of its newly purchased engine plants. Bombardier has spent a month and a half forming a management team, getting the products recertified and addressing various dealer issues.

Bombardier's plans coming together
Article Abstract:
Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) has quietly negotiated to acquire a plant near Racine, WI, but company officials declined to say what impact this would have on the engine business that was owned by Outboard Marine Corp. and is based in Waukegan, IL. BRP has also been tightlipped about its plans for the former OMC engine business. Industry observers believe that Bombardier will keep the Waukegan plant open and use the Racine facility to consolidate assembly operations from OMC plants in the southeast.
