A new milestone as an SFE supplier within Embraer’s carpet catalogue, manufacturing and cutting each carpet to drawing for ready-to-install delivery.
Industrial Neotex successfully completed in August the First Article Inspection (FAI) for its aircraft carpet supply within the Embraer E2 program.
The inspection confirms compliance of the first manufactured article with the defined product requirements and characteristics and represents a key step in the industrial supply process.
An SFE supplier within the E2 program
Industrial Neotex supplies aircraft carpets included in Embraer’s SFE catalogue for the E2 program.
This means Neotex carpets form part of the standard manufacturer-furnished solution available for E2 production aircraft. When an airline requires a specific alternative, a BFE — Buyer Furnished Equipment — solution can be specified.
Being part of the SFE supply chain places Industrial Neotex within an OEM environment that requires industrial precision, traceability and compliance with quality and certification requirements
From textile manufacturing to a ready-to-install component
Industrial Neotex’s scope goes beyond manufacturing the carpet itself.
Each pre-cut aircraft carpet is manufactured according to Embraer drawings and supplied prepared for installation in the aircraft.
This reflects Industrial Neotex’s Ready to Install approach: transforming technical textile materials into finished cabin solutions that facilitate integration and simplify downstream installation operations.
Manufacturing + cut to drawing + preparation for installation turn the carpet into a finished component adapted to the requirements of the aircraft program.
Industrial precision for the next generation of E-Jets
Embraer’s E2 represents the new generation of its E-Jets family, combining operational efficiency, flexibility and passenger comfort.
Operating as an SFE supplier in this environment requires translating textile expertise into a precise, traceable and repeatable industrial process.
The successful completion of the FAI therefore represents another milestone for Industrial Neotex and reinforces our capability to deliver finished, ready-to-install textile solutions for OEM aircraft programs.
