It will include a dedicated team of highly qualified professionals specialized in programme management, support, and engineering, to provide state-of-the-art solutions tailored to the needs of European armed forces and NATO partners.
Bosco da Costa Junior, President & CEO of Embraer Defense & Security said that: “The subsidiary in Portugal is proof of Embraer’s long-term vision for Europe.
