Saab has announced the establishment of a new multifunctional facility in Mölnlycke, located in the Härryda municipality near Gothenburg, Sweden, in response to growing global demand for radar and sensor systems. The expansion aims to boost production capacity and support continued growth in the region.
The company currently develops and manufactures airborne and ground-based radar and sensor systems at its Gothenburg location, including key products such as the GlobalEye airborne early warning and control aircraft and the Giraffe radar family. The new facility will complement Saab’s existing site in Kallebäck and is expected to accommodate approximately 500 workstations.
"In order to meet the high demand for our world-leading capabilities, we are expanding our operations in the Gothenburg region with additional office space and production capacity. Gothenburg has a strong cluster of microwave competence as well as universities and other industry. We look forward to continuing to grow and create jobs in the region," said Carl-Johan Bergholm, Head of Saab’s business area Surveillance.
Saab has recently scaled up its radar and sensor production by opening additional sites in Halmstad (Sweden), Finland, and the United Kingdom. The Gothenburg region remains a central hub for the company, with approximately 3,200 employees currently based there.
