Embraer develops its supply chain in Morocco

MARRAKESH, MOROCCO – A high-level delegation from Embraer concluded an official visit to Morocco to assess the country’s aerospace supply chain. The initiative follows a recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the Government of Morocco and Embraer to explore potential joint projects.

Embraer sees significant opportunities for business and industrial collaboration as both Brazil and the Kingdom of Morocco share a strong commitment to deepening cooperation and investment. These opportunities span across commercial aviation, defense, and urban air mobility.

“Morocco has a fast-emerging aerospace industry, and we’ve identified key suppliers with potential to be integrated into our global supply chain,” said Roberto Chaves, Executive Vice-President of Global Procurement and Supply Chain at Embraer. “We believe there are opportunities to bring mutual benefits, both in the short and long term, through innovation and economic growth in both countries.”

Embraer elected Morocco as a regional key partner for building a robust supply chain program. Morocco’s aerospace industry has demonstrated strong capabilities in areas such as aerostructures, machining, sheet metal work and composites.

The cooperation could also include training programs, MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) capabilities and additional areas for potential collaboration, such as Research & Technology.

A global aerospace company headquartered in Brazil, Embraer has businesses in Commercial and Executive aviation, Defense and Security, and Agricultural Aviation. The company designs, develops, manufactures, and markets aircraft and systems, providing Services and Support to customers after-sales.

Since it was founded in 1969, Embraer has delivered more than 9,000 aircraft. On average, about every 10 seconds an aircraft manufactured by Embraer takes off somewhere in the world, transporting over 150 million passengers a year.

Embraer is the leading manufacturer of commercial jets with up to 150 seats and the main exporter of high- value-added goods in Brazil. The company maintains industrial units, offices, service, and parts distribution centers, among other activities, across the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Europe.
