Embraer’s China division is celebrating its seventh anniversary with a shift to larger premises. Embraer will now be operating from the China Central Place Office Building located in the newly established Central Business District (CBD) region east of downtown Beijing.
From the very early stages of its operations in China, Embraer has given special attention to developing a high level of cooperation with the Chinese aviation industry,this resulted in the establishment of the joint venture with Harbin Aviation Industry Co., Ltd., and HafeiAviation Industry Co., Ltd., under China Aviation Industry Corporation II (AVIC II). The joint venture operates under the name of Harbin Embraer Aircraft Industry Company (HEAI).
In the pursuit of full customer satisfaction, Embraer set up a spare parts center in Beijing, in partnership with the China Aviation Supplies Company (CASC). Since then, facilities have been expanded to keep pace with the needs of Embraer’s growing customer base in China,focusing its efforts on building a sophisticated customer support system to best serve the needs of its clients.
Since 2000 Embraer has sold 123 jets to the Chinese. The staff has grown from three employees to 230 and is expected to reach 270 by the end of the year.
