Saab, EDA To Supply Carl-Gustaf Ammunition To Five Countries

Saab and European Defense Agency (EDA) have agreed to supply Carl-Gustaf ammunition to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic and Poland.

The agreement will last five years and includes a possible renewal of two more years. The agreement includes potential orders of approximately MSEK 460.

European Defence Agency (EDA) acts as the central purchasing body, taking the leading role in the procurement procedure for Carl-Gustaf ammunition to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, and Poland.

The agreement aims to co-ordinate the purchase of Carl-Gustaf ammunition between several member countries to meet their demand due to the commonalities in ammunition.

“The first orders are however estimated not earlier than 2015”, says Görgen Johansson, Senior Vice President and Head of Saab’s Business Area Dynamics.
