  • November 1968 -> Merger of Bölkow GmbH and Messerschmitt AG to Messerschmitt-Bölkow GmbH

    May 1969 -> Buyout of Hamburger Flugzeugbau GmbH through which the Blohm Family became a major shareholder, thus the name change to Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB)

    1989 -> Daimler-Benz daughter DASA ate the MBB

    2000 -> DASA merged with the french Aérospatiale-Matra and the spanish CASA to form the EADS – European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (today known as Airbus Group).

    So I guess Airbus could start producing under the Messerschmitt Label, in theory at least
