Embraer Defense and Security signs contract to buy OrbiSat

April 01-15, 2011

Embraer Defense and Security signed a contract to purchase 64.7 per cent of the capital of the radar division of OrbiSat da AmazĂ´nia S.A. The deal, which is valued at $ 28.5 million, is an important strategic step to increase the participation of Embraer Defense and Security in the Brazilian Defense System.

“OrbiSat has technology that few countries in the world master,” said Luiz Carlos Aguiar, President of Embraer Defense and Security. “The synergy involved in this acquisition will bring important solutions for the development and manufacture of systems for monitoring and air defense, worldwide.”

This sale implies the splitting of OrbiSat into two companies: one focusing on radar, which will be controlled by Embraer Defense and Security, and the other involved with electronic equipment, which will continue to be under the control of the former owners.
