Brazil's Embraer Raises Aviation Coatings Demand

摘要

The strong growth recovery of Brazil's Embraer, one of the top five small jet makers in the world, should raise demand for aviation paint and coatings, in contrast to other segments with slow or no growth in the economically challenged country. Embraer sales, which are very global in distribution, rose to $402 million during third quarter this year from $213 million in the comparable period last year. The Sao Jose dos Campos, Sao Paulo state company also has a growing pipeline of orders. This year, Embraer predicts $1.85 billion worth of global sales of 90 light jets and 40 medium jets, representing 28 percent of the company's total revenue. Embraer has sold a cumulative 850 small jets in the world, 200 of which are within Latin America.
