44. THE FUTURE
• Technology transfer to offer more complex
products, which will require more mature
industrial operations;
• Possibilities to access new and global markets;
• Establishment of a new and more dedicated
industrial chain.
• Construction of new aerospace production site
in São Bernardo do Campo.

45. CORPORATE STRATEGY
• Keep a low cost unit for composite parts
manufacturing and sourcing in the market.

qualified “level 1” manufacturer;
• Expand assemblies and integration capacities,
in order to offer complete structural segments
and major sub-assemblies;
• Move into an independent organization.

46. PRODUCT MANAGEMENT
ORGANIZATION
• Under development to support new
contracts;
• For current businesses, InbraAerospace
shares resources with other B.U´s with
special concern to keep processes under the
requirements of Embraer and certification
authorities.

47. MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES
• Manufacturing processes follow those
requested by the aerospace segment,
according to the design of outsourced
parts requirements, like carbon fiber, glass
fiber, NDT inspection, honeycomb
processing, etc.
