Since its founding in 1937, Saab has been driven by a singular mission: to keep people and society safe through advanced defence and security solutions. Born from Sweden's need for a domestic aircraft industry during a critical time, the company recognized early on that security is more than a luxury—it's a fundamental human right. Today, Saab operates on every continent, serving governments, authorities, and corporations with world-leading products that span from military defence in all domains to civil security. The company continuously develops, adapts, and improves technology to meet evolving threats and protect democratic values worldwide.
Saab's commitment to safety extends far beyond fighter jets and naval vessels. With 26,100 employees across more than 30 countries, the company designs, manufactures, and maintains complex systems in aeronautics, weapons, command and control, sensors, underwater systems, and cyber security. From the GlobalEye airborne early warning aircraft to the Gripen fighter, from submarine technology to radar systems—Saab's innovations are deployed in over 100 countries, protecting critical infrastructure and enabling nations to defend their sovereignty. The company's purpose remains unwavering: to increase security and build resilient societies through cutting-edge technology and unwavering ethical standards.
