Fokker does now as a contributing partner to the NH-90:

Fokker, as in Anthony Fokker, never built helicopters.

The few remnants of his once thriving company, which although it built
rather nifty airliners had financial trouble and ultimately went
bankrupt sometime in the `ninetees, indeed survive by working as
sub-contractors for various projects, including on the NH-90.
Saying that Fokker builds Helicopters is like saying Messier-Bugatti
builds planes (for those of you who don't know, they do hydraulics for
landing gears, for instance).
