It will eventually also make the brakes, rear fuselage, wing box and front fuselage for the two-seater \u201cF\u201d model, Saab stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those structures will then undergo final assembly at Embraer\u2019s nearby plant in Sao Paulo and Saab\u2019s main Gripen production hub in Link\u00f6ping, Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/air\/2020\/04\/27\/collapse-of-boeing-embraer-deal-could-have-major-impact-on-c-390-millenniums-future\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/DN_BPW_07.JPG.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Collapse of Boeing-Embraer deal could have major impact on C-390 Millennium\u2019s future<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Analysts say that the failed Boeing-Embraer deal could have negative repercussions for Embraer&#039;s flagship military aircraft.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saab won a contract with Brazil in 2014 for 36 Gripen E\/F aircraft after a hard-fought competition that included Boeing\u2019s F\/A-18 Super Hornet, the Dassault Rafale and the Eurofighter Typhoon. Technology transfer was a major requirement for all proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saab\u2019s new aerostructures plant in Brazil has employed more than 70 workers, half of which will receive training in Sweden. Some workers have already returned from that program and have used their training to launch production activities in Brazil, Saab stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBased on theoretical and practical on-the-job training of Brazilian engineers and assemblers at Saab in Link\u00f6ping, we were able to establish a highly qualified production line at SAM, following the same standards that we have in our factory in Sweden,\u201d says Jonas Hjelm, head of Saab\u2019s Aeronautics business area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2018, Saab unveiled the Brazilian aerostructures facility, which will eventually accommodate up to 200 employees in 2024. The parts produced there will be used to manufacture Gripens that will be delivered to the Brazilian Air Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saab delivered the first Gripen E to Brazil in September for testing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new facility in Sao Paulo is making parts for the Brazilian Air Force&#8217;s
