Embraer is taking a decisive step by transforming Poland into its main European hub. With investments of up to US$3 billion and the creation of 5.000 jobs, the Brazilian giant will revolutionize the aerospace industry in Europe. Not only with new aircraft projects, but also with a strategic partnership with NATO!
Embraer, the Brazilian giant in the aeronautical industry, is about to take a crucial step that could change the aviation landscape in Europe forever.
In a strategic move, the company plans to transform Poland into one of its main operations centers, with million-dollar investments and the creation of thousands of jobs.
This move aims to consolidate Embraer's presence not only in commercial aviation, but also in the areas of defense and security.

But what is behind this decision and what impacts could this change have not only for Embraer, but also for the global aeronautical market and the Polish economy?
Billion-dollar projects and investments in Poland
Embraer President and CEO Francisco Gomes Neto, accompanied by a senior team of executives, arrived in Poland this week to announce a series of projects that reinforce the company’s commitment to the country and the region.
Among the main investments, the creation of a production line for the KC-390 Millennium stands out, one of Embraer's most advanced aircraft, with multi-mission capabilities and high interoperability with NATO.
According to Gomes Neto, the local production of this aircraft represents an important milestone for Embraer and the Polish defense sector, and could generate up to US$1 billion and 600 new jobs over the next decade.
Another high-impact project involves the conversion of commercial aircraft into freighters, more specifically in the case of the E190, an aircraft model widely used for commercial flights, but which can be adapted for air cargo.
With the growing demand for freight transportation, Embraer sees great potential to expand its operations in this sector, not only to serve Poland, but the entire European Union region.
These investments can add up to more than US $ 2 billion, creating around 4.400 new jobs over the next 10 years.
But the impact is not limited to aircraft manufacturing. Embraer is also establishing a landing gear maintenance and overhaul center for the planes E-Jets E2, one of the manufacturer's most recent models.
The center will enable Poland to become a hub for services and technical support for commercial aviation, generating highly skilled jobs and encouraging the development of local workers. The project is expected to contribute $3 billion to the country’s economy over a decade.
Strategic partnerships with the Polish aerospace sector
Embraer's expansion strategy in Poland goes beyond the installation of new factories and service centers.
The company is also looking to strengthen its partnerships with local suppliers to ensure a robust and efficient supply chain.
There is already a strong collaboration between Embraer and several Polish suppliers that produce essential parts for the E2 jets, such as seats, auxiliary power units and key engine components.
Polish companies already supply around US$30 million in parts and services to Embraer in 2024 alone.
The expansion of operations of Embraer in Poland can help the company further diversify its supply chain by increasing production of parts and components in the country.
As a result, Poland will become an even more important link in Embraer’s global production network, reinforcing the country’s position as a strategic hub for the aerospace industry in Europe.
Embraer's growth potential in Europe and the global market
Embraer’s expansion in Poland is not limited to production and maintenance plans. The company is taking advantage of the growing demand for new technologies and innovations in the aerospace sector.
In partnership with the Łukasiewicz Aviation Institute (iLOT), Embraer is investing in research and development (R&D) in the areas of new materials, flight technologies and aeronautical design.
This collaboration can boost the tecnologic innovation from Embraer, which is already recognized worldwide for its ability to develop cutting-edge aircraft.
Furthermore, Embraer is actively involved in the transformation of the eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) sector, which could completely change urban transportation in the future.
The growth of the eVTOL market offers a unique opportunity for Embraer to expand its operations in Poland and position itself as a leader in urban air mobility.
Economic impact for Poland: a revolution in the aerospace sector
The economic impacts of Embraer's investments in Poland are considerable. According to the company's estimates, the projects could generate up to US$3 billion for the Polish economy, in addition to creating around 5.000 new direct and indirect jobs in the aeronautical sector and related areas.
This movement puts the Poland as a key hub not only for Embraer, but for the future of aviation in Europe.
With expanding airports and a growing defense industry, Poland is positioning itself as a powerhouse in the aerospace sector.
With Embraer By investing in infrastructure, training and research, the country has the potential to become a leader in the aviation market, attracting new investors and reinforcing its strategic position in Central Europe.
NATO partnership and the future of the defense industry
Another crucial aspect of this expansion is Poland’s role as a NATO member. The production of the KC-390 Millennium, an aircraft that has already been purchased by several NATO countries, is a significant step towards strengthening Embraer’s position within the military alliance.
The model, with interoperability with NATO, has attracted the attention of several European countries, which puts Embraer in an advantageous position to further expand its presence in the defense sector.
The future of Embraer in Poland and worldwide
The transformation of Poland into a strategic hub for Embraer in Europe is aligned with the company’s growth objectives in the global market.
With plans to expand its operations, invest in research and innovation and generate thousands of jobs, Embraer is committed to strengthening its position as a world leader in the aeronautics industry.
The impact for Poland will be profound, bringing not only economic benefits but also strengthening its global competitiveness.
The future looks bright for the Polish aerospace industry, and Embraer is at the epicenter of this transformation.
How do you think Embraer’s growing presence in Poland could affect the European aviation market? What benefits do you think this move will bring to the defense sector and to jobs in the country?
Poland has always been a very important trading partner since the Getulist era, because, due to their debt to Brazil in coffee, they built many, many specialized ships, express ships such as LINERS, Transatlantic with Rosa da Fonseca and Ana Nery among other modes. And it will be a very successful partnership for EMBRAER, seeking to reach the European market in its resumption of building the defense of the countries that make up the European Economic Union.
