Saab Acquires Deform AB Based In Sweden

With this acquisition, the collaboration between the two companies will be further strengthened, enhancing the security of supply for the Swedish defense industry. Deform has a longstanding partnership with Saab, supplying specialty components for Saab’s submarine production, and plays a key role in Kockums’ supply chain.

“Deform has a unique expertise in the shaping of tough and demanding materials. They supply, among other things, to Saab’s ongoing production of the Blekinge-class submarines. We see it as a winning solution for both Kockums and Deform to secure the supply chain and jointly develop more businesses by making Deform part of the Saab family,” says Mats Wicksell, head of Saab’s business area Kockums.

Deform, led by CEO Ulrika Jonsson, is a forming company specializing in both hot and cold forming of various metallic materials. Founded in 1907 and adopting the name Deform in 1987, the company currently employs 37 people.
