Embraer develops its supply chain in Morocco

The initiative follows a recent MoU signed between the Government of Morocco and Embraer to explore potential joint projects.

Embraer said it 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, defence, 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 programmes, MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) capabilities and additional areas for potential collaboration, such as Research & Technology.
