Saab Aeronáutica Montagens SA is a Brazilian aeronautical company which has operated since 2018 as a subsidiary company of the Sweden aerospace conglomerate Saab AB.[1][2][3] The Brazilian aerospace engineering company, Akaer Engenharia SA, has a shareholding in this company.[4][5]

Saab Aeronáutica Montagens is producing empennage, air brakes, the wingbox, the rear fuselage, and the forward fuselage for their mainline product: Saab JAS 39 Gripen.[6] The manufacturer hopes that in the future this assembly line will be used to manufacture these parts for aircraft that may be sold to other countries.[7][8]
