The company's business units are divided into the product areas of aeroengines, aerostructures, rockets and space, and specialty products.

Magellan also supplies gas turbine components for airplanes, helicopters, and military vehicles such as the M-1 Abrams tank.
History
Magellan was formed in 1996 from the remains of Fleet Industries, a subsidiary of the US-based Fleet Aerospace located in Fort Erie, Ontario. They produced products and services for the Canadian military, as well as subassemblies for aviation companies.
Through the 1990s Magellan expanded, buying a number of Canadian aviation companies. These included:
- Orenda Aerospace (c. 1946 and now Magellan Repair, Overhaul and Industrial) in Toronto and acquired in 1997
- Bristol Aerospace (c. 1930) of Winnipeg and acquired in 1997
- Chicopee Manufacturing Limited (c. 1953)[4] in Kitchener, Ontario
- Haley Industries (c. 1952) of Haley Station, Ontario and acquired 2002
Several US companies were also added, including Aeronca (formerly part of the US-based portions of Fleet), AMBEL Precision Manufacturing, Ellanef Manufacturing, Middleton Aerospace and Presto Casting Company. They also purchased the assets of Mayflower Aerospace in England, becoming Magellan Aerospace UK in 2003. The Fleet Aerospace division was closed in 2003, was sold, and later re-opened as Fleet Canada Inc. Magellan Aerospace is now an integrated, international company and all of its subsidiaries are wholly owned, operating under the Magellan name.
