Saab Aeronáutica Montagens SA
Saab Aeronáutica Montagens SA is a Brazilian aerospace firm established in 2018 as a subsidiary of the Swedish aerospace giant Saab AB. The company operates out of São Bernardo do Campo, Brazil, and is majority-owned by Saab AB (90%), with the Brazilian aerospace engineering enterprise Akaer holding the remaining 10% stake. At its inception, the workforce consisted of approximately 60 employees.
This enterprise specializes in manufacturing key components for the Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighter aircraft, including the empennage, air brakes, wing box, rear fuselage, and forward fuselage sections.
