Renaming teh company, effective 1 July 2017

edit

"Airbus Safran Launchers is renaming itself to ArianeGroup. The joint venture of Airbus and Safran was created in 2015 as part of a reorganization of the European launch vehicle industry that also included plans to develop the next-generation Ariane 6 launch vehicle. The name change, which was announced Wednesday but takes effect July 1, is intended to provide greater brand coherence with its subsidiary Arianespace.

What is the ownership structure of this company?

edit

This mega-corporation in the European aerospace industry has been around for a couple of years now, and yet the article on the company is rather lightweight.

Who owns this company? Is it a regularly publically-traded company? Can major equity holders be seen in public reports? What role does the French government have in the company? Seems like much could be added to improve the article. N2e (talk) 03:25, 4 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
