Francisco Gomes Neto, President and CEO of Embraer, is visiting Poland this week with a senior commercial and defence team, engaging with existing, new, and potential partners in the areas of manufacturing, final assembly, maintenance and repair, passenger-to-freight conversions, research and development, and eVTOLs.
The company has plans to make Poland a center of excellence in Europe. On Tuesday, the company announced an agreement with the Łukasiewicz Institute of Aviation (iLOT), focusing on research and development in the fields of materials, future flight technologies, aeronautical design and future maintenance processes.
"Embraer has been part of the Polish aviation ecosystem for over 25 years, and now, with Embraer growing strongly across the globe, we are committed to expanding our industrial engagement together with Polish partners covering manufacturing, final assembly, maintenance and repair," said Francisco Gomes Neto, President and CEO of Embraer. "To support this growth, Embraer plans to help develop the capabilities and skills that will drive the Polish aerospace sector to the next stage of success.
"These initiatives in manufacturing, maintenance, and training, may position the Polish economy to take advantage of the high value opportunities in the global aerospace arena, and could generate US$3bn in value for Poland over 10 years, potentially creating 5,000 jobs," added Neto.
Embraer is looking at partners for parts manufacturing and for a potential final assembly line for its KC-390 Millennium multi-mission military aircraft, which is currently winning orders from Europe/NATO countries and around the world. The aircraft assembly and associated aftermarket ecosystem (including maintenance and training) could result in value creation of close to US$ 1bn and 600 jobs.
In commercial aviation Embraer is ramping up production and actively seeking to turbocharge its supply chain in Poland. The Polish industry is already a major supplier to Embraer's E2 programme as the seats are made in Świebodzin, auxiliary power units in Rzeszów, and key engine components in Kalisz; contributing 1,350 jobs in the supply chain and US$30m spend procuring goods and services in Poland in 2024 alone.
Other projects under discussion include a landing gear overhaul facility for the E-Jets E2, and conversion of E190 aircraft into freighters. The total package in commercial aviation could potentially translate into more than $US2bn investment in 10 years and more than 4,400 jobs.
Embraer already has a strong footprint in Europe as 30% of the E2 is manufactured in the EU – the wings are made in Portugal for example, and other key components are made in France, Germany, Austria, Spain, and Belgium. For the KC-390, 42% of the supply chain comes from the EU.
"We wish to continue our deep-rooted partnership with Poland for decades to come, going beyond selling aircraft, to fostering and accelerating Poland's aviation ecosystem," said Arjan Meijer, President and CEO, Embraer Commercial Aviation. "The E2 is the low risk, high reward choice, offering a seamless, low cost, transition to the new aircraft. The E2 is the most efficient, reliable, and comfortable aircraft for LOT, and it provides almost US$900m in economic benefits compared to the competition. The E2 is the aircraft that will best support the airline's profitable and sustainable growth, as well as the ambitions for the new Central Airport hub (CPK) – just as Embraer jets do already at global hubs like Paris, Chicago, Amsterdam, and of course Warsaw."
Embraer is offering Poland the KC-390 Millennium military transport aircraft. The NATO-interoperable aircraft is the most advanced in its category and has been acquired by Netherlands, Czech Republic, Portugal, Hungary, Brazil, Austria and South Korea, and selected by Slovakia and Sweden.
"In offering the KC-390 Millennium to Poland, a leading NATO nation, we have the opportunity to engage with Poland's well established and expert industrial and defense community. An opportunity for Poland to become a key member of the European KC-390 ecosystem, with an outstanding industrial, training, and support package," said Frederico Lemos, Chief Commercial Officer of Embraer Defense & Security.
