Torrance, CA —2010 marked a year of transition for Robinson Helicopter Company. During the first half of the year, the company worked to move unsold inventory created by the unstable economy. By mid-year, the inventory was gone and the company saw a surge in new sales. Production was ramped-up as orders steadily increased most notably in the third and fourth quarters. By the end of the year, Robinson had accumulated a backlog of 169 new orders. Total production for the year was 162 aircraft (40) R22s, (112) R44s and (10) R66s.
With the newly certificated R66 and a rapidly growing backlog, Robinson’s focus for 2011 will be production and product development.
Robinson Helicopter Company is the world’s leading manufacturer of civil helicopters. For additional information about Robinson, visit the website at www.robinsonheli.com.
