Scagnetti Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 AgustaWestland, Embraer plan Brazil helicopter assembly line AgustaWestland looks set to cash in on an oil-driven Brazilian helicopter sales bonanza through a joint venture with Embraer that could lead to production of its rotorcraft in the country. The two airframers have signed a memorandum of understanding which, if a final agreement is reached, would see the establishment of an assembly line in Brazil building helicopters for both the domestic and wider Latin American markets. Data from Flightglobal Ascend shows AgustaWestland accounts for less than 14% of the Brazilian market for civil rotorcraft, although the airframer itself puts the figure closer to 25%. The Brazilian market is dominated by Eurocopter and its local Helibras subsidiary, the only helicopter manufacturer in Latin America. Eurocopter controls nearly 48% of the Brazilian market - directly or via Helibras - with 700 machines in service, on order or in storage, including a major contract to supply its EC725 to all three branches of the nation's military. Second in Brazil is Bell, with 285 helicopters and a 21% market share. Ironically, while Brazil is the world's largest and fastest-growing helicopter market, its aerospace industry champion Embraer has shown little or no interest in the sector since the late 1960s when the BF-1 Beija-Flor light single-engined helicopter was one of its first projects.

madmike Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Beh direi che si tratta di un bel colpo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scagnetti Posted January 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Magari anche per altri ambiti oltre a quello elicotteristico. Embraer si sta affermando con progetti interessanti ed è oramai un attore di livello nel settore aerospaziale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-1 Pinto Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Anche "AW&ST" riporta la notizia .... http://www.aviationweek.com/Article.aspx?id=/article-xml/awx_01_21_2013_p0-539322.xml Mi chiedo però se AW non si sia mossa in ritardo .... dato che, leggendo gli articoli, risulta già una consolidata presenza delle aziende concorrenti sui mercati Latino-Americani. E' altrettanto vero che "Embraer", in quelle realtà, è una vera e propria potenza. Non ci resta che aspettare e vedere .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duplex Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Si potrebbe dire meglio tardi che mai! Il Brasile tra i paesi del BRICS è quello con tassi di crescita molto interessanti e con una propria industria nazionale delle alte tecnologie discretamente affermata. Embraer che fino a 15 anni fa non rappresentava una realtà importante oggi lo è in campo aeronautico anche se in spazi di nicchia. Gran parte dell'industria tecnologica Brasiliana sembra ricalcare le orme delle vecchie partecipazioni statali Italiane, tutto bene, tutto male... AW credo abbia fatto una mossa importante, Embraer è la sola azienda Brasiliana in grado di impensierire il dominio Eurocopter e Bell, quindi una sinergica integrazione industriale in un grande paese in rapido sviluppo con possibili interessanti strategie di sviluppo soprattutto sul convertiplano. Almeno questo sembra a me, dunque farei i complimenti al Management AW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibbra Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Anche secondo me è stata un bella mossa! Si vero, Embraer deve molto all'industria aeronautica Italiana. L'AMX era co-prodotto con loro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-1 Pinto Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 AW andrà da sola .... AgustaWestland Reformulates Plans For Production In Brazil .... AgustaWestland is reformulating its plans to launch helicopter assembly in Brazil following the termination of negotiations concerning potential co-production with Embraer earlier this year. The company is now considering going it alone with its Brazilian subsidiary, AgustaWestland Do Brasil, which announced at the Labace business aviation show in Sao Paulo on Aug. 14 that it is planning a major expansion of its facilities in the city, which the company says will include maintenance hangars with space that could accommodate a helicopter final assembly line.

AgustaWestland chief executive Daniele Romiti confirms the company remains open to restarting talks with Embraer over local manufacture of the AW189 and AW169 for the Brazilian market. "We are open to accept any proposal that may come, considering that we are pretty sure that the new products we have in mind, such as the AW189 and the AW169, that are coming soon are pretty good for the needs of the Brazilian market," Romiti says.

Unholy Posted August 26, 2013 Report Share Posted August 26, 2013 Spero che lascino perdere.... è um brutto momento per investire in Brasile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scagnetti Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Sì il Brasile sta vivendo una difficile congiuntura economica che continuerà a farsi sentire ancora per qualche anno. Ma non sono per nulla certo che non valga la pena investire nel lungo periodo. E entrare nel mercato brasiliano, trovare eventuali alleanze e avviare una linea di produzione, richiede più di uno-due anni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
