AgustaWestland Brazilian subsidiary, AgustaWestland do Brasil is to expand with a new facility at Itapevi, 30 kilometres from Sao Paulo. The facility will include maintenance hangars that could accommodate a helicopter final assembly line.

Construction of the new facility is scheduled to be completed in 2016.

The project is being supported by Investe São Paulo, the investment promotion agency linked to the Secretariat of Economic Development, Science, Technology and Innovation.

“The aerospace sector is considered a priority for Investe São Paulo, because it requires highly skilled workers and adds value to a complex industrial chain.”

Juan Quirós, president of Investe SP said: “The aerospace sector is considered a priority for Investe São Paulo, because it requires highly skilled workers and adds value to a complex industrial chain.”

The company has achieved steady growth in Latin America and in Brazil in recent years and this new facility is intended to support the owners and operators in the region.

This new larger facility will enable the company to grow its industrial presence and allow the company to potentially assemble helicopters in Brazil.
