not quite true
Westland and Agusta ceased to be separate when they amalgamated some years ago.
before 1st Jan 16 there were 4 separate entities owned by FM involved in making helicopters;
AW SpA based in Italy
AW Inc based in the USA
AW Ltd based in the UK
and AW PZL based in Poland (I may have the exact name of that one incorrect)
each was called AgustaWestland but was a different legal entity to comply with national laws.
from 1st Jan I understand there are no AgustaWestland entities in any country, so Agusta has also been dropped as a name as well as Westland
helicopters are now produced by one division of Finmeccanica, so there is effectively one Company operating in four countries, producing a product range with AW designations (a bit like Lamborghinis being produced by Audi)
At least Westlands made it to 100 years as a name

So after January's renaming of AgustaWestland to Finmeccanica Helicopters, Finmeccanica itself has now been rebranded to Leonardo-Finmeccanica...until January 2017, when it will become Leonardo.
Quite!
Question is, what happens to the Leonardo customer portal? Does this become the Leonardo-Finmeccanica Leonardo portal (and, from next year, the Leonardo Leonardo portal)?
