São José dos Campos, May 8, 2009 – Embraer has established a four-year partnership with
Volvo Aero Services Corp., in the United States, naming the company as an official distribution
center for Embraer Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) aircraft parts. Based in Boca Raton,
Florida, Volvo Aero Services will promote and sell spare parts as an additional Embraer outlet.
“Following a comprehensive selection process, Embraer decided to join forces with Volvo
Aero Services, leveraging the relevant potential synergy of our operations to better serve our
customers,” says Maurício Aveiro, Embraer Vice President, Customer Support – Airline
Market. “We are enthusiastic about the opportunities involved with this partnership, and
believe it will significantly increase our spare parts offering in the market.”
The agreement covers materials deemed surplus by Embraer. Volvo Aero Services will
manage and promote this inventory, under Embraer’s control, according to established sales
goals. Embraer expects to reinforce its materials support by creating this new spare parts
distribution channel.

aircraft operations, as an additional outlet for spare parts distribution,” says Claes Malmros,
President and CEO of Volvo Aero Services. “This contract is an example of our ongoing
commitment to the development of a long-term service strategy and recognition of our
reputation in the aviation aftermarket.”
Around 4,000 part numbers for the EMB 110 Bandeirante, EMB 120 Brasilia, and ERJ 145
jet family were included in the initial agreement. Embraer is working to expand the deal to
cover the surpluses from its production activities and other opportunities.
