Ricardo, a global strategic, environmental and engineering consulting company, has announced the opening of an aerospace centre of excellence in Quebec, having successfully expanded its capabilities and secured several new contracts for aerospace customers in North America.
The new office will initially be home to around 25 engineers and experts, who will build on Ricardo’s strong heritage and existing specialist knowledge in automotive and industrial technologies to meet the needs of customers in the aerospace sector. As a Ricardo global centre of excellence for aerospace, the office will focus on growing the company’s expertise in Canada and serving its customers globally.
The opening of the new office follows the announcement in July that Ricardo had signed a multi-year deal with Pratt & Whitney Canada to support the development of advanced hybrid-electric propulsion technologies for next-generation aircraft. It will also enable Ricardo to serve its customers better locally and expand its delivery of policy, strategy, technology implementation and consultancy services across North America.
