What OGMA does
OGMA – Indústria Aeronáutica de Portugal, S.A. is a Portugal-based aerospace MRO, aerostructures, and engine services company headquartered at Parque Aeronáutico de Alverca, founded in 1918 and operating with approximately 2,000 employees. The company is 65% owned by Embraer and 35% by the Portuguese State, and operates as an Authorized Maintenance Centre / Owned Service Center for Embraer, an Authorized Hercules Service Center for Lockheed Martin, and an Authorized Maintenance Centre for Rolls-Royce (AE 2100, AE 1107C, AE 3007, T56) and Pratt & Whitney (GTF PW1100G-JM, PW1900G). Its commercial offering is organized into three core service lines — Aircraft Maintenance (defense, civil, and executive aviation), Engines and Components, and Aerostructures — supported by Engineering and CAMO services, a 4,000 m² painting hangar (operational since 2016), and an EASA Part 147 Academy with the OGMATON trainee program.
The underlying technology base is conventional aerospace MRO and tier-2 aerostructures manufacturing across metallic and composite materials, including 1,200 m² of cleanroom capacity, four autoclaves, Nadcap-accredited NDT and composites operations, and AS9100/9110 quality systems. Aerostructures work includes sheet metal and machining, composites, and metallic structures assembly for Embraer, Airbus, Dassault, Pilatus, and Lockheed Martin, with components spanning nose fairings, cabin structures, wings, fuselage sections, and engine pylons. The engine franchise covers full overhaul and test for Rolls-Royce AE/turboprop/T56 platforms and the Pratt & Whitney GTF family, anchored by a P&W GTF Test Cell Correlation certificate valid through 2031.
OGMA's revenue model is B2B professional services and OEM-contracted manufacturing, monetized through OEM Authorized Service Center agreements, direct defense and government contracts (Portuguese Air Force, NATO E-3A, multiple international air forces), and aerostructures supply contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated bilaterally through direct enterprise sales relationships. Distribution is direct through authorized service center designations, defense procurement channels, and customer/supplier portals, serving operators across Europe, Asia-Pacific (China, India), Africa (Nigeria, South Africa, Libya), the Middle East (Jordan), North America, and Latin America (Brazil).
