Noorduyn is a Canadian manufacturer of aircraft products and accessories, specializing in high performance composites. It is headquartered in Montreal, and has offices worldwide serving the commercial, business and military aviation markets.[1]
The company was originally established as Noorduyn Aircraft Limited, an aircraft manufacturer, by Dutch immigrant Robert B. C. Noorduyn and Walter Clayton. It was established in Montreal in 1933[2] and in early 1934, acquired the Curtiss-Reid factory in Cartierville, Quebec, near Montreal. In 1935, it began operating as Noorduyn Aviation.[2] The rights to Noorduyn were traded on several occasions,[3] and production ceased in 1959.[4]
