Liebherr-Aerospace and Röder Präzision, based in Egelsbach, Germany, are expanding their cooperation to enhance maintenance support for the Embraer E-Jet E1 programme. Under the intensified partnership, Röder will now overhaul structural components of the main landing gear, building on its existing role in overhauling parts of the nose landing gear for the same aircraft family.
To support Liebherr-Aerospace’s growing requirements, Röder has invested in a major expansion of its machinery and additional training for its highly specialised workforce. The overhaul programme for structural components is set to increase progressively from 2026 onwards.
The partnership will see key processes such as disassembly, assembly, testing and certification of the landing gear systems carried out at Liebherr’s facility in Lindenberg. Meanwhile, individual component overhauls will be performed at Röder’s site in Egelsbach.
Bastian Heberer, CEO of the Röder Group, said the continued development of the cooperation reflects a long-standing relationship built on trust. He added that Röder’s targeted investments in equipment and ongoing employee qualification will further strengthen its contribution as a reliable MRO partner, supporting Liebherr in delivering stable capacity, high quality standards and short turnaround times for Embraer E-Jet E1 operators.
Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg remains the original equipment manufacturer for the landing gear systems of the Embraer E1 generation of E-Jets, supported by its established supply chain.
