BTR Aerospace Group was renamed from BTR Industries after acquisition of Dunlop Aviation Division in 1985.

It is a group of four companies:

  • Standard Aero
  • Dunlop Aviation Division
  • Aero Engine Equipment
  • Dunlop Precision Rubber

In 1996, Dunlop Aircraft Tyre Limited was created out of assets purchased from BTR Aerospace.

In July 1998, Doughty Hanson & Co purchased BTR Aerospace Group and renamed it Dunlop Standard Aerospace Group.
