Founded in 1918, OGMA – Indústria Aeronáutica de Portugal, S.A., has dedicated ever since to the maintenance of aircraft and aircraft engines, as well as to the manufacturing of aircraft components and to aircraft engineering and logistic support. OGMA is situated in Alverca, approximately 15 km north of Lisbon, and employs a workforce of 1,520[1] and provides a 3km H24 runaway. The abbreviation OGMA originally stood for "Oficinas Gerais de Material Aeronáutico", which changed to "Indústria Aeronáutica de Portugal" in 1994.[2]

OGMA currently holds a wide range of domestic and foreign customers, both civil and military, and is authorised maintenance centre for Embraer, Lockheed Martin, Eurocopter, and Rolls-Royce. Some aircraft maintained by OGMA include: C-130 Hercules, P-3 Orion, F-16 Fighting Falcon, Embraer ERJ 145 family, Embraer E-Jets, Airbus A320 family, Embraer Legacy 600/650 and Embraer Lineage 1000..

Since its creation, the company was government-owned until 2005, when Airholding SGPS, a consortium made of Embraer and EADS acquired a 65% share of OGMA's capital, with the Portuguese state holding the remaining 35% through the Empordef company.[3]

On July 10, 2006, OGMA inaugurated the Executive Jets Center, created to improve the maintenance services of the Embraer Legacy 600 and future business jets developed by Embraer. On 8 August 2006, Embraer and the Portuguese Government signed an agreement setting Embraer to assess cooperation with OGMA towards the development of a capacity to design and manufacture aerostructures for the world-wide market.[4]
