Swedish defence company MilDef has opened a new 6,500 square metre facility, named Bastionen, in Rosersberg, north of Stockholm. The purpose-built property significantly expands MilDef’s capacity for system integration, enabling larger and more complex defence and security assignments.

 

The facility, developed on schedule by LEJE Fastigheter AB, quadruples the company’s production space and is tailored to growing demands in Sweden and among allied partners. It comes as Sweden’s defence capabilities are undergoing rapid modernisation.

“This is undoubtedly a milestone in MilDef’s expansion, and we are seeing a sharp increase in demand for larger and more complex deliveries. The capacity increase in Rosersberg is a proactive step to future-proof our capabilities and enable us to deliver on a larger scale with high quality and delivery reliability,” says Daniel Ljunggren, President and CEO of MilDef.

Bastionen supports high-volume, advanced system integration for total defence and security-critical systems, with a focus on customised production and a modern working environment. “Bastionen enables us to further scale up our ability to deliver complete, customized solutions. The market is increasingly demanding comprehensive solutions rather than individual components. This creates a natural hub for the part of the business that works with the Swedish market,” says Erik Buhre, Head of Delivery, MilDef Sweden.

 

 

The initiative reflects MilDef’s role in expanding Nordic defence cooperation and responding to Sweden’s NATO membership, which requires future-proof, standardised, and interoperable technologies. “We see great synergies in building capacity for cross-border collaboration. Bastionen is a concrete expression of our ambition to be a reliable industrial partner in both national and pan-Nordic projects,” says Magnus Hagman, VP Nordics.
