CPI Aerostructures, Inc. announced today that Embraer, has awarded a life-of-program supply agreement to CPI Aero to manufacture engine inlet assemblies for the Embraer Phenom 100EX business jets. The first assemblies produced by CPI Aero has been delivered to Embraer in May of 2026.

In October 2023, Embraer unveiled the Phenom 100EX, the company's latest evolution from the Phenom 100 series, which has served its loyal customers since 2008 with over 400 aircraft in operation. Adopted and trusted by owner-pilots, private companies, and flight academies, the Phenom 100 series is the most trusted entry-level platform in the industry. Now, the new Phenom 100EX delivers superior cabin comfort, operational versatility and pilot-centric avionics to offer the ultimate flying experience.

"We are excited to build on our existing relationship with Embraer, one of the world's premier aircraft manufacturers. This programme is a perfect fit for CPI's Aerostructures Assembly & Integration Market Segment and builds on the experience and performance we have on the Phenom 300 series, having delivered over 1900 inlets to date. We look forward to demonstrating our capabilities on the Phenom 100 programme and to earning Embraer's continued business," stated Dorith Hakim, President and CEO of CPI Aero.
