STG Aerospace wins Embraer contract

Miami, Florida – Aircraft lighting technologies company STG Aerospace has won a contract to supply its safTglo brand photoluminescent emergency floorpath marking system for the next generation of Embraer aircraft launching in 2017. Having supplied safTglo to the current generation Embraer aircraft through a Tier 2 contract, achieving Tier 1 status with the Brazil-based Embraer is a major milestone for STG Aerospace, adding to the Tier 1 contracts the company already has with Boeing, Bombardier, SuperJet International, and AgustaWestland.

 

Currently installed on more than 9,000 aircraft worldwide and requiring no power source, safTglo offers a lower cost and lower weight alternative to electrical systems. Charged by ambient lighting, its fully-sealed design reduces maintenance and operational costs. 

 

STG Aerospace will be supplying Embraer with both safTglo SuperSeal Lite (SSL) and its latest next generation system, SuperSeal UltraLite (SSUL), depending on the profile of carpets selected. Both SSL and SSUL are available in different color options, enhancing cabin aesthetics without compromising safety.

 

In addition to fitting all new-build Embraer aircraft with safTglo, STG Aerospace is also offering a discounted retrofit program to operators of existing Embraer aircraft to enable them to install the latest production standard systems and help them develop a unified brand image across their fleets.

 

Marcus Williams, STG Aerospace’s sales & marketing director, commented: “This is excellent news for STG Aerospace in becoming a Tier 1 supplier to yet another major manufacturer. Embraer’s decision to choose safTglo for their new-build aircraft is a further validation of the product’s pre-eminent position in terms of cost, performance, safety, and brand-enhancing cabin aesthetics”.
