Embraer and Strata partner on E2 composite aerostructures in July 2026
Aerospace Composites Market 2025 to 2032: Lightweighting Imperatives, Certification Bottlenecks and the skilled-labor Supply Gap →Embraer and Strata Manufacturing signed an agreement in July 2026 to evaluate the potential supply of advanced composite aerostructures for the Embraer E2 family and other commercial aircraft programmes. The collaboration focuses on technical and commercial feasibility for supplying aerostructure components. This reflects a broader trend of OEMs diversifying their composite supplier base to support ramping production schedules.

The recovery in commercial aircraft production is becoming increasingly visible. Airbus is ramping up the A320 Family towards 70 to 75 aircraft per month by the end of 2027 and is targeting an A350 production rate of 12 aircraft per month in 2028, while Boeing is working towards a 787 rate of 10 aircraft per month later in 2026. But Airbus and Boeing are not the only aircraft programmes shaping th
