BTR Aerospace Group

BTR Aerospace Group was renamed by BTR plc after the acquisition of the Dunlop Aviation Division from Dunlop Rubber in 1985.

It was a group of four companies:

*Standard Aero, in Canada
*Dunlop Aviation Division
*Aero Engine Equipment
*Dunlop Precision Rubber

In 1996, Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Limited was sold by BTR plc to form an independent company. It is based at Fort Dunlop, Birmingham, England.
