Both companies are looking back on more than 20 years of successful cooperation; since 2024 FACC serves as a member of the Supplier Advisory Council of the world’s third-largest aircraft manufacturer. During its annual supplier conference in São Paulo, Embraer has awarded FACC with the Supplier of the Year Award in the category ‘Outstanding Collaboration’ and is thereby further strengthening the successful partnership. The award was presented to CEO Robert Machtlinger by Roberto Chaves – Executive Vice-President of Global Procurement and Supply Chain at Embraer.

"This prestigious award from Embraer underscores the strength of our partnership, for which we are both proud and grateful," states CEO Robert Machtlinger. With a continuous commitment for quality and excellence, we very much look forward to further expanding this collaboration."

Wide-ranging cooperation

FACC and Embraer are maintaining a broad cooperation, with FACC manufacturing business jet cabins and as well structural components, such as spoilers and ailerons, for Embraer’s passenger aircraft. Being one of Embraer’s strategic partners in the uprising field of Advanced Air Mobility, FACC is also developing and manufacturing the horizontal and the vertical tail and its moveables (rudder and elevator) as well as the aileron for the eVTOL from Eve Air Mobility, a company founded by Embraer.

New technologies for carbon neutral flying

FACC and Embraer as well have an extensive R&D collaboration, focusing on recyclable materials, life cycle assessments for a circular economy, and technologies for sustainable flying. That includes the development of a high-rate, automated manufacturing process for aviation, which, combined with a further weight reduction of its lightweight components, will further contribute to lower aircraft emissions.
