Embraer has named its top 10 suppliers of 2025 across key categories during the annual Embraer Suppliers Conference (ESC) in Brazil. The recognition underscores strong collaboration that drives operational efficiency amid production ramp-ups.
Standouts include Aernnova (Spain) in Structures, F/LIST (Austria) in Interiors, Garmin (USA) as Best of the Best and in Systems/Services & Support, Novelis (USA) in Raw Materials, University Swaging (USA) in Hardware, Tecplas (Brazil) in Subcontract, Raízen (Brazil) in Indirect Materials, and Liebherr (Germany) in Outstanding Collaboration. Kawasaki Heavy Industries also won Structures for 2024, marking its second such honor.
Simultaneously, Embraer partnered with Toyota do Brazil to integrate Toyota Production System (TPS) principles at its São José dos Campos facility. TPS specialists will embed with Embraer teams to cut waste and refine E-Jet and E2 production processes.
This builds on Embraer’s enterprise efficiency program, which has yielded productivity gains and evened out annual output since 2023. CEO Francisco Gomes Neto noted material results this year, with stable production expected from 2026, aiding supply chain resilience.
The awards and TPS initiative align with broader efforts like the ONEChain digital platform, enhancing real-time supply chain transparency and agility for global suppliers in over 60 countries. These steps position Embraer to balance growth, reduce costs, and improve decision-making in a competitive aerospace market.
