Saab Training and its parent company report strong growth as the former starts delivery on three major programmes for the Netherlands, Poland and the USMC.
Saab has reported a strong year with a 54% order intake year-on-year and an order backlog of SEK105 billion ($11.6 billion). 'This corporate success is also being reflected in our Training & Simulation business unit,' said Åsa Thegström, VP Head of T&S BU at Saab.
