Rolls-Royce History
In 1904 Rolls Royce was established as a luxury car manufacturer and then later expanded to an aero-engine manufacturing business in Manchester, the United Kingdom by the partnership of Charles Rolls and Henry Royce.
The First World War brought them into manufacturing aero-engines. Joint development of jet engines began in 1940 and they entered production. Rolls-Royce has built an enduring reputation for developing and manufacturing engines for defence and civil aircraft.
In 1971, the owners were obliged to liquidate their business. The useful portions were bought by a new government-owned company created for the purpose named Rolls-Royce (1971) Limited which continued the core business. In 1973 Rolls Royce Motor cars Limited were separated from the main company. Rolls-Royce plc finally returned to the stock market in 1987.
On 14 June 2018, the company announced restructuring the business to create three simpler decentralised units (civil aerospace, defence and power systems).
Rolls-Royce (LON: RR) is a defence and aerospace company. This is a sector in which international demand is unevenly distributed between countries. The ability to defend oneself is a natural desire expressed since the beginning of civilizations. It is of course a sector very prone to innovations, which companies must imperatively take into account to remain competitive. As a result, we observe a demand that is renewed with each innovation.
It is also a sector very much impacted by the global and national geopolitical context. Indeed, the customers of this sector are not individuals but state, governed by various laws and budgets, which makes it a much more complex market to predict. The current context between Russia and Ukraine, which strongly benefits this market, is one proof.
