“This investment reflects an important achievement for our missile business. We have grown significantly in recent years and our order backlog is at a record high. The new facility will house some of the best technology Norway has to offer and will strengthen long-term value creation, competitiveness and development of high-tech industrial jobs in Kongsberg,” says Eirik Lie, President of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace.
The new 25.000 square meter facility will be completed during the summer of 2024. The building will connect to the existing facilities on campus to enable inter-divisional interaction and greater efficiencies.
“This new building emphasizes our continuous focus on the long-term industrial development of Kongsberg. I am looking forward to starting the construction process and within a fairly short time, being able to welcome our team members to their new facility. They will all be part of a busy and exciting campus that develops and produces world-leading products for Norwegian and international customers,” concludes Lie.
