Saab is moving quickly to increase U.S. munitions production capacity and meet the urgent needs of its customers. Once open, the facility will be used for final assembly and integration of shoulder-fired munitions and precision fire systems. Groundbreaking will take place in Q4 2024, with initial manufacturing starting in early 2026.
The facility in Grayling will mark the 10th facility in the United States for Saab, Inc. Its other facilities include advanced manufacturing within aerospace in West Lafayette, Indiana; radar and sensor systems in Syracuse, New York; training and simulation in Orlando, Florida; autonomous and undersea systems in Cranston, Rhode Island and Quincy, Massachusetts; and most recently a new operationally focused incubator in San Diego, California.
“Given current global security challenges, it is critical the United States strengthens its national defense capacity. Saab is proud to partner with the state of Michigan and the local community to establish a world-class facility that, with our range of products, will increase and modernize the domestic production of munition systems,” said Erik Smith, President and CEO of Saab in the U.S. “We are making a long-term commitment not only to the U.S. defense industrial base, but to the local community as well. Saab plays a positive role in the communities where we live and work, creating jobs and investing in the local community, and we look forward to joining the Grayling community.”
