Strategizing Supplier Diversity at Boeing CANADA

The U.S. aerospace giant Boeing has close ties to Canada in more than one way. The company recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of the operation of the Winnipeg composite manufacturing plant. In January 2012, Boeing announced that it had selected three Canadian firms as contractors to supply in-service support of 15 Chinook helicopters manufactured by Boeing. In the last 20 years, Boeing reports that it has benefitted Canada by $20 billion in U.S. dollars over the last 20 years. So it should not be surprising to learn that the company has set its sight on the expansion of supplier diversity in Canada.
