STG Aerospace to supply safTglo for all new-build Embraer aircraft
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 leading manufacturers Boeing, Bombardier, SuperJet International and AgustaWestland.
The highly innovative safTglo® product range offers the best in class emergency floorpath lighting solution in terms of performance, design and through-life costs. Currently installed on over 9,000 aircraft worldwide, it is the system of choice for over 300 airlines. Requiring no power source, safTglo® offers a significantly lower cost and lower weight alternative to electrical systems and being charged by ambient lighting, its unique fully-sealed design substantially 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 colour options, enabling a dramatic enhancement of cabin aesthetics with no compromise on 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.”
