AgustaWestland was an Anglo-Italian helicopter design and manufacturing company,^[2] which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Finmeccanica (now known as Leonardo).^[3] It was formed in July 2000 as an Anglo-Italian^[4] multinational company, when Finmeccanica and GKN merged their respective helicopter subsidiaries (Agusta and Westland Helicopters) to form AgustaWestland,^[5] with each holding a 50% share. Finmeccanica acquired GKN's stake in AgustaWestland in 2004.

In 2016, AgustaWestland was merged into Leonardo S.p.A. (formerly Finmeccanica), where it became the company's helicopters division under the Leonardo Helicopters brand.^[6]^[7] "AgustaWestland" still exists as a subsidiary of Leonardo but the AgustaWestland public brand is no longer promoted.^{[citation needed]}
