Aeronautics
The international aviation industry is made up by only
a small number of global players, among which is the Embraer. With 42 years of
existence, Embraer is one of the largest aerospace companies in the world with
operations in several stages of the process: design, development, manufacture,
sale and after-sales support of aircrafts.
Headquartered in São José dos Campos, Embraer has five
plants with activities of engineering, development and manufacture, in São José
dos Campos, Botucatu and Gavião Peixoto, besides two logistics centers in
Taubaté and Campinas. Abroad, the company inaugurated its first industrial unit
in the United States, in the International Airport of Melbourne, in the city of
the same name, in Florida. In addition to that, it is setting up two new
industrial units in the city of Évora, in the Alentejo region, in Portugal.
Embraer also has its own service centers and centers for the sale of spare
parts in São José dos Campos, Fort Lauderdale (Florida, USA), Mesa (Arizona,
USA), Nashville (Tennessee, USA), Windsor Locks (Connecticut, USA), Villepinte,
in France, and in Singapore.
Operating in 95 countries on the five continents, the
company operates in the segments of commercial aviation, executive aviation and
defense and security, and it is the world’s greatest maker of commercial
aircrafts for up to 120 passengers. In the segment of executive aviation, even
with the difficulties faced by the market, Embraer has increased its
participation: in relation to units delivered, the growth went from 14% in 2009
to 19% in 2010. Consolidating its central position in the national industry of
defense material, the company created Embraer Defesa e Segurança (Defense and
Security), which, at the end of 2010, had a backlog of US$ 3.3 billion.
Besides Embraer, the State of São Paulo is also the
home of its main domestic and foreign suppliers. The São Paulo-predominant
character of the Brazilian aeronautical industry is made clear by the
information of the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) for
the sector. In 2009, the State was responsible for 76% of the local units,
97% of the employed staff and 96% of the Value of Industrial Transformation –
VTI of the national aeronautics industry. Another aspect that stands out
refers to foreign trade. The aerospace industry was responsible, in 2010, for
8% of the exports made from São Paulo, whose main market was the European Union
where 36% of the exports went to.
