Partnerships in the Industry

OEM Fulfilment and alignment

Global aerospace and defence industries are facing exceptional production delays, with OEMs struggling to meet the rising demand for both commercial aircraft and defence platforms. FALCO will be addressing this challenge by partnering with leading OEMs to establish new infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, designed to expand production capacity and strengthen supply chains.

 

Through these strategic partnerships, we provide vital offset opportunities for airlines and manufacturers, while alleviating the global shortfall in aircraft delivery. This not only accelerates timelines but also ensures that Saudi Arabia emerges as a critical production and logistics hub for the aerospace industry, directly contributing to stability, resilience, and long-term growth.

Offset Hub

Establishing Saudi Arabia as the preferred location for major aerospace manufacturing partnerships.

Alignment

Partnering with leading aerospace and defence firms to secure production capacity and certifications.

Compliance

Negotiate conditional contracts that meet NATO, ITAR, and AS9100 compliance requirements.

Investment

Partner with OEM-backed funds or joint ventures to reduce risk and anchor long-term production.

Trust and Credibility

Strategic Investment

At FALCO, investment is about more than capital, it is about building confidence, delivering progress, and creating long-term value for society. In this first phase, our focus is on demonstrating measurable results: establishing facilities, transferring knowledge, and creating opportunities that benefit the Kingdom and its people.

 

As these foundations take shape, they become the platform upon which investors can participate with clarity and trust. By showcasing progress first, we ensure that every step forward reflects both stability and ambition, laying the groundwork for sustainable investment that strengthens Saudi Arabia’s position in the global aerospace and defence industry.
