Embraer Defense Europe, in Lisbon, Portugal. This office will focus on defense and security initiatives, serving as the hub for the company’s European operations and strengthening Embraer’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions to NATO and European Union (EU) member countries.

This strategic milestone is part of Embraer’s vision to expand its presence in Europe, offering advanced defense and security technologies tailored to the region's needs. The subsidiary will meet all NATO and EU operational requirements and will be staffed by a team of skilled professionals specializing in program management, engineering, and customer support.

We are committed to deepening our relationships with European and NATO partners, offering the most advanced and efficient capabilities to meet each customer’s operational needs.” Embraer has already made significant contributions to the modernization of European armed forces. Countries such as Portugal, Austria, Czech Republic, Hungary, and the Netherlands have integrated Embraer’s defense platforms like the C-390 Millennium multi-mission aircraft and the A-29N Super Tucano advanced training and light attack aircraft into their fleets. The list of partners continues to grow, with Sweden and Slovakia recently joining the C-390 Millennium program. Embraer Defense Europe will focus on supporting these operations and strengthening its partnerships with NATO allies, ensuring innovative solutions to meet evolving defense requirements in the region.
