On February 18, 1964, J. Armand Bombardier died of cancer at age 56.
He left behind a thriving business, but also one that had been focused on one person.
Armand dominated his company, overseeing all areas of operation.
He controlled the small research department, making all the drawings himself.
By the time of his death sales of the company had reached C $ 20 million, which is the equivalent of C $ 160 million in 2004 dollars.
The younger generation took over, led by Armand's sons and sons-in-law.
The young team reorganized and decentralized the company, adopting modern business tactics.
The company adopted the latest technological innovation — the computer — to handle inventory, accounts, and billing.
Distribution networks were improved and increased, and an incentive program was developed for sales staff.
