"Now, innovative companies are appearing in Brazil and around Latin America. Our membership initiatives in Brazil reflect our ambition to bring access to this strategic region to all members of the PartsBase community."
"Brazil is now a leading force in the world’s aviation and aerospace community," says Sao-Paulo based Partsbase Sales Director Marcos Pettena, "Embraer is the world's fourth-largest aircraft maker. There also are some innovative partnerships forming, like the joint venture between Embraer and China Aviation Industry for five ERJ145 planes."
Pettena, who joined PartsBase after successfully using the PartsBase parts locator service to purchase a jet engine, started with the company on January 23.
