Canadian inventor Joseph-Armand Bombardier founded the company in Quebec in 1942 as L’Auto-Neige Bombardier Limitée. He had spent years developing vehicles capable of traveling over snow-covered terrain and patented a system combining skis and tracks in 1937. The company later became Bombardier Inc. and expanded into recreational vehicles, rail transportation, and aircraft manufacturing before focusing on business aviation.
