AgustaWestland was an Anglo-Italian helicopter design and manufacturing company formed in July 2000, when Finmeccanica and GKN merged their helicopter subsidiaries, Agusta of Italy and Westland Helicopters of the United Kingdom, each holding half of the new company. The two firms had collaborated since 1981 on the EH101 through the European Helicopter Industries joint venture, and the new company worked from Yeovil in England and from Cascina Costa and Vergiate in Italy. Finmeccanica bought out GKN's stake in 2004 for 1.06 billion pounds. The company built the AW101, AW109, AW119, AW139, AW149, AW159, AW169 and AW189 helicopters, the AW609 tiltrotor and the Project Zero electric tiltrotor demonstrator. It was folded into Leonardo S.p.A. in 2016 and became that group's helicopters division, and the Agusta name was relaunched for VIP helicopters in 2020.
