Defence and security company Saab inaugurated the company’s new office in Sønderborg, Denmark. Saab is growing in Denmark and acts as a hub for high technology communication systems.

Saab in Denmark is going from being a product supplier to a solution provider. Providing full system integration of highly advanced communication systems (TactiCall) for both the civil and military domains – both domestically and internationally. Systems that increase flexibility and manoeuvrability for the customer to pursue its core tasks, such as for defence forces to keep people and society safe or for actors in the oil and gas industry to have a safe work environment.

“We want to expand our overall presence in Denmark and to provide Saab’s innovative and high—technological systems and solutions within defence and security to the Danish market”, says Heino Lundgren, CEO of Saab in Denmark and head of Saab business unit Communication Solutions within business area Support and Services.

Over the past four years Saab Denmark has more than doubled its turnover and recruited more than 30 new employees – increasing staffing with more than one-third in total. Saab’s plan is to continue to grow in Denmark going forward.

“Sønderborg is one of the major engineering hot spots in Denmark. Several of Denmark’s leading technology companies have their headquarters in the area, and this helps attracting the right talent and skills, which will build the foundation for our growth. To Saab, Sønderborg is the ideal location to build for the future, which we firmly believe we have done here at our new offices,” says Heino Lundgren.

Saab in Denmark is the company’s hub in terms of military communication systems. The expertise within the area is extensive and goes many years back. The communication technology Saab is offering is called TactiCall and is a very robust system for both military and civil use. One of the advantages is that the system can connect all kinds of different communication systems a customer might have in one interface.
