Embraer has signed a new supplier agreement with India’s Bharat Forge. The contract supports the airframer’s global supply chain with high-quality forged products and reinforces its strategy to expand and diversify its supplier base, while fostering industrial capabilities in key growth markets.

Long-lead-time parts, such as forgings, are considered a potential choke point in the aviation manufacturing supply chain—one that can limit the ability of a company to easily alter rates of production in periods of increased demand.
