Embraer has said today (February 9) it is continuing to expand and strengthen its supply chain in India, following an executive-level visit to the country.
“We reaffirm our strong commitment to collaborating with India's aerospace industry,” said Embraer EVP of global procurement and supply chain Roberto Chaves. “Our focus is on advancing joint initiatives in defense and civil aviation, contributing to technological innovation, operational excellence, and long-term strategic partnerships.”
While no agreements were disclosed, the Brazilian OEM said it “assessed a range of potential suppliers” in the country during its visit. This included capabilities in aerostructures assembly, machining, metal forming, composites, wiring systems, and hardware and software development.
“Embraer views India as a key strategic partner in the Asia Pacific region and plans to implement an extensive local supply chain program in the country,” Embraer said.
The company had recently inaugurated its Indian office in New Delhi, as well as establishing a dedicated local procurement team.
