Évora, Portugal, January 12, 2022 –
Embraer and Aernnova, an international reference company in the supply of aerostructures, today announced a strategic partnership
for Embraer Metálicas and Embraer Compósitos industrial units, located in the Aeronautical Industry Park of Évora,
Portugal. The transaction contemplates the sale of all shares of company’s wholly owned subsidiaries to Aernnova for the reference
price of US$ 172 million, subject to adjustments on the closing date. The agreement aims to increase the production of the centers of
excellence, which operation has a strategic importance for the current and future products of Embraer.
With 37,100 and 31,800-square meters respectively,
and employing around 500 people, these facilities combine the most advanced technologies in both metallic and composite airframe construction
with a high level of digitalization and automation of plant production processes.
Among other activities both factories produce parts
for wings, vertical and horizontal stabilizers for programs such as the Praetor 500 and Praetor 600 business jets, the two generations
of the E-Jets family of commercial jets and the multi-mission aircraft KC-390 Millennium. Évora industrial units will constitute
Aernnova’s largest production center in the world.
Under the terms of the partnership, Aernnova assumes
the operation of the industrial plants in Évora at the same time as it signs a supply agreement to secure current production packages
for Embraer aircraft.
This agreement strengthens the Aernnova’s position
as a tier 1 supplier for single aisle aircraft and improves its presence in the executive and defense aerospace markets. Évora
facilities activity will add around US$170 million to Aernnova’s revenues figure. The industrial capacity at Evora plants
will also allow Aernnova to further expand Evora current activities with new contracts either from Embraer or other aircrafts manufacturers.
“We are pleased to announce this partnership
with Aernnova, a world renowned supplier in the aerostructures segment, which will allow for increasing the occupation level of the factories
in Évora, to diversify its client base and to bring new business opportunities,” said Francisco Gomes Neto, President and
CEO of Embraer. “This agreement is an important step towards the footprint
optimization strategic initiative, which aims to better use of our assets and improve the company’s profitability.”
Mr. Ricardo Chocarro, CEO of Aernnova, said: “This
deal is another step forward in Aernnova’s growth strategy, further underlining the company’s status as a global leader in
the design and manufacturing of aerostructures. We plan to further develop the operations of the facilities, and establish Évora
as a global aerostructure manufacturing benchmark, with the technical and commercial support of Aernnova group, and with the continuous
commitment of the company to a digital and sustainable aeronautical industry”
With this strategic movement, Embraer reinforces and
consolidates its commitment with Portugal, the country where the company invests the most in its industrial capacity outside of Brazil
and which is a strategic location for Embraer’s presence in Europe.
The closing of the transaction is subject to the completion
of certain conditions which the parties expect to accomplish in the first quarter of 2022.
