A delegation from Brazilian OEM Embraer has visited India to assess the expansion of its supply chain into the country, as the company foresees business potential.
Embraer is particularly interested in ventures related to aerostructures, machining, sheet metal, composites, forgings, wire harnesses, and hardware and software development for commercial aviation and executive jets.
“India has a robust aviation and defence industry, and we see strong viability for manufacturers and systems developers in India to be key suppliers to Embraer,” said Roberto Chaves, Executive Vice-President of Global Procurement and Supply Chain at Embraer. “We are driven by a common vision, which is to drive the aviation capabilities of Brazil and India to greater heights and to deliver value to our customers around the world.”
The company currently has a standing in India, with over 44 aircraft in use, including a fleet of five Embraer VIP jets operated by the Indian Government and three EMB 145 AEW “Netra” military aircraft operated by the Indian Air Force.
Embraer has previously commented on working to introduce E2s into India, considering the country as a valuable emerging market for aviation.
