Saab公司为全球市场提供世界领先的产品、服务和解决方案，范围涵盖非常广泛，从军事防御到公民安全。Saab公司在世界各地均有业务和雇员，致力于开发、引进和完善新技术，以满足客户不断变化的需求。 

2007年Saab公司瑞典以外的市场销售额占总销售额的65%。

 

Saab公司总共拥有13700名雇员，年销售额为230亿瑞典克朗（相当于25亿元欧元），研究和开发工作能完成约20%的年度销售业绩。

 

当Saab公司（瑞典飞行公司）于1937年创立时，首要目的是满足瑞典国内军事飞机行业的需求。

 

飞行公司

随着其第一架飞机 – 轻型轰炸机和侦察机B17的生产交付，Saab公司开始成为瑞典空军的主要供应商。Saab公司和瑞典空军已携手合作，通过引入世界领先的技术，不断开发出军用喷气式飞机。

 

在二十世纪四十年代末期，Saab公司成功地制造出J29 Tunnan战斗机，并随后在二十世纪五十年代推出Lansen、Draken （1960）和 Viggen（1971）系列战斗机。1993年生产研制出了Gripen – 第四代战斗机。1999年南非同Saab公司签署了Gripen飞机的首次出口协议，此后捷克共和国和匈牙利均相继签署相关协议。

 

工程公司 

军事飞机的生产不仅引导着商用飞机的生产，而且还促进了其他众多商业领域产品的研发。二十世纪四十年代Saab公司开始了汽车制造业，在二十世纪六十年代帮助创建了瑞典计算机、导弹和航天产业。1969年Saab和Scania公司合并成立了Saab-Scania公司 – 一家整合了飞行和防御系统，并从事汽车、卡车和公共汽车制造的公司。1990年，原微型轿车部门成为了一家独立的公司 - Saab Automobile公司。自从2000年起，Saab Automobile公司已由通用汽车公司全部控股。在1995年Saab-Scania公司一分为二，将从事商业和生产卡车的提供商Scania从Saab公司脱离出来。

 

防御公司 

Saab公司于2000年收购了防御集团Celsius – 瑞典一家拥有百年防御工业历史的公司。例如Bofors，从19世纪就开始生产火炮。时至今日，Saab航空电子公司和Saab Systems与Philips、Datasaab、Ericsson、AGA 和 Satt Electronics等公司都有着不解之缘。 

 

Saab公司通过收购Celsius公司，已在瑞典防御工业领域中占据主要地位，并创建了在斯堪的纳维亚半岛上的该领域内具有主导地位的公司。

 

Saab公司以其领先技术为广泛基础，致力于开发满足未来防御需求和创建安全社会所必需的产品。

 

Saab serves the global market with world-leading products, services and solutions ranging from military defence to civil security. Saab has operations and employees on all continents and constantly develops, adopts and improves new technology to meet customers’ changing needs.

Saab has 13,700 employees. Annual sales are SEK 23 billion (€2.5 billion). Research and development corresponds to about 20 percent of annual sales.

 

When Saab, Svenska Aeroplan Aktiebolaget, was founded in 1937, its primary aim was to meet the need for a domestic military aircraft industry in Sweden. 

 

The aircraft company 

With the deliveries of its first aircraft, the light bomber and reconnaissance aircraft B17, Saab became the dominant supplier to the Swedish Air Force. Saab and the Swedish Air Force have progressed together through various generations of military jet aircraft, introducing world-leading technology every step of the way. 

 

In the late 1940’s Saab introduced the J29 Tunnan fighter, which was followed in the 1950’s by Lansen and later by Draken (1960) and Viggen (1971). The first deliveries of Gripen, the first of the fourth generation fighter aircraft to enter service, began in 1993. In 1999 South Africa signed the first export order for Gripen. Since then the Czech Republic and Hungary have also signed contracts. 

 

The engineering company 

Military aircraft production led not only to commercial aircraft production but also a number of other businesses and products. In the 1940’s automobile manufacture began. In the 1960’s Saab helped to create Sweden’s computer, missile and space industries. In 1969 Saab and Scania merged to form Saab-Scania, a company combining aircraft and defence systems with the manufacture of automobiles, trucks and buses. In 1990 the passenger car division became an independent company, Saab Automobile. Since 2000 Saab Automobile is wholly owned by General Motors. In 1995 Saab-Scania was demerged into two companies when business and truck manufacturer Scania was separated 

 

The defence company

In 2000 Saab acquired the defence group Celsius, and with it over a century of Swedish defence industry history. Bofors, for example, has manufactured cannons since the 19th century. Today’s Saab Avitronics and Saab Systems trace their roots back to Philips, Datasaab, Ericsson, AGA and Satt Electronics. 

 

By acquiring Celsius, Saab brought a large part of Swedish defence industry history together under one roof and created Scandinavia’s dominant company in the field. 

 

The broad-based product range is clearly focused on future defence needs and a safer society.
