Facility is operated in a partnership between Embraer and UPS Supply Chain Solutions
São José dos Campos, December 23, 2008 – Embraer’s new distribution center, operated by
UPS Supply Chain Solutions, in Louisville, Ky., in the U.S., was certified by the Brazilian
Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil – ANAC). The certification by
ANAC is recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The distribution center supports the Embraer executive jet fleet in North America and the
Caribbean. The Company maintains a complete stock of repairable, expendable and structural
parts for Phenom jets at the Louisville Worldport, which is UPS’s largest air cargo hub.
“In addition to the three recently-inaugurated service centers, this achievement further
confirms our readiness to support our North American and Caribbean customers, including
those who will begin to fly their Phenom 100s,” said Edson Carlos Mallaco, Embraer Vice
President, Customer Support and Services – Executive Jets. “We have had an excellent
relationship with UPS, the world’s largest package delivery company and a leading global
provider of specialized transportation and logistics services, with its broad-based express
delivery network.”
In order to assure availability where needed, Embraer will also stock critical parts throughout
the U.S. at its authorized service centers, including the Company-owned distribution center in
Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Orders requested up to midnight Eastern Standard Time can be
delivered by the next morning to customers virtually anywhere at the thousands of
destinations served by UPS in North America. Additionally, the certification of this site
enables it to receive and generate airworthiness tags for spare parts used on Embraer products,
saving customers time and expense.
“UPS is pleased and excited to be partnering with Embraer in supporting the Phenom jets.
With the existing well-defined Embraer processes as a building block, UPS plans to employ
its own best practices to make the Louisville operation one of Embraer’s most fluid and
efficient,” said Scott Blandford, UPS Operations Manager.
Embraer has seven wholly owned service centers and a broad authorized network, worldwide, to
support its customers
