The early years：
In 1921，at the age of 19，Joseph Armand Bombardier opened a garage in Valcourt，Quebec, where he earned his living as a mechanic.
In 1936,he submitted his B7 prototypes, the precursor to today‘s snowmobile，for patent approval.
In 1942,Bombardier incorporated his business as L’Auto-Neige Bombardier Limitee (ANB)
In 1959,bombardier achieved his lifelong dream when ANB introduced a one passenger snowmobile.
In1969, the company went public with the intention of utilizing the funds to vertically integrate and increase its manufacturing capability.
The energy crisis of the mid-1970s put the brakes on the snowmobile industry, and when the dust settled, the largest of the six remaining manufacturers was BBD.
