Es scheint ein Ausverkauf stattzufinden, GKN will seine 50% von AgustaWestland an Finmeccanica verkaufen, Alvis wird wahrscheinlich an General Dynamics verkauft und Bae Systems wird vielleicht eine Fusion mit einem amerikanischen Konzern eingehen. Die "Standhaften" sind Rolls-Royce und Vosper Thornycroft.


Hier ein genereller Überblick über die Britische Rüstungsindustrie:

Bae Systems hat zirka 100000 Mitarbeiter (40000 davon in GB) und einen Umsatz von 19 Milliarden Euro.
Rolls-Royce hat 35000 (21000 in GB) Mitarbeiter und einen Umsatz von 9 Milliarden Euro.
Vosper Thornycroft hat 10000 (alle in GB?) Mitarbeiter und einen Umsatz von 900 Millionen Euro.
Alvis hat einige Tausend Mitarbeiter (zirka 50% in GB?) und einen Umsatz von 400 Millionen Euro.
Thales UK - ehemals Racal - hat zirka 12000 Mitarbeiter und einen Umsatz von ungefähr 1.8 Milliarden Euro.



Hier einige der Übernahmen:

Zitat:The government was back in the firing line yesterday over the transfer of British defence assets abroad when GKN confirmed it had reached a £1bn agreement to sell Westland - Britain's only helicopter business - to Italy.
Concerns about the future of Yeovil-based Westland were raised when new buyer, Finmeccanica, said it was already looking to cut costs.
Lord Bach, the defence procurement minister, on Tuesday dismissed ideas of a disposal of Westland as "rumours", but an outline deal was confirmed less than 24 hours later.
GKN said the sale to its Italian joint venture partner was "the right price at the right time" and the City agreed, marking the British engineering company's shares up almost 5% to 229.75p.
But Bruce George, chairman of the Commons defence select committee, said governmental obsession with the free market was selling Britain short.
"I very, very much regret this sale," he said. "We have opened up our markets to all and sundry, leaving UK defence manufacturing such as Westland and Alvis to move abroad. Try exporting to the US or France and see the way Alstom [of France] is being subsidised as a national champion."
