Saab and Embraer have officially opened a Gripen E production line at Embraer´s plant in Gavião Peixoto, Brazil. The site currently is the only final assembly line for the Saab Gripen E single-engine fighter outside of Sweden. Saab and Embraer have been collaborating on what the companies are calling “the largest ongoing technology transfer project in the country” since the 2014 signing of a contract to supply 36 Gripens to the Brazilian air force.
