Saab has acquired Deform AB in Degerfors, Sweden, in a move aimed at strengthening the security of supply for the Swedish defence industry and safeguarding the submarine production chain.
Deform has been a long-standing supplier of specialised components for Saab’s Kockums operations, including the Blekinge-class submarine programme. The company will retain its name and continue operations in Degerfors under Saab’s ownership.
