About Bofors Defence

It is a Swedish company wholly owned by United Defense and has a workforce of about 500 of whom more than 50% are directly involved in R&D. 

From having previously been a manufacturing company with its own development department it has entered a new phase.

After a 5-year period of restructuring it is now a company completely engaged in development and qualified assembly, without any production capacity. 

In the area of R&D modeling and simulating activities are continuously increasing.

The Logistics and Assembly Operations Dept. is responsible for final assembly and final testing of those systems that are ready for delivery.
