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
Airbus Helicopters, formerly known as Eurocopter, is building on the heritage of MBB (among other helicopter manufacturers merged into the company). The H135 has been developed out of the MBB Bo105 and the H145 is the successor of the MBB/Kawasaki BK117.
