Robinson Helicopter Co. broke its annual production record last year despite the recession.

The Torrance-based firm, the world's largest maker of civilian helicopters, built 893 new aircraft in 2008.

That was up from the previous record of 823 in 2007.

Last year's record production pace came as a result of a "large backlog" of orders coming into the year, said Kurt Robinson, vice president of product support.
