What do the Night Vision System, composite constructions of a scientific satellite and armoured wheeled vehicle have in common?
The answer lies in the large volume of high-tech design involved, and the manufacturer, the Patria Group. We have rapidly developed into a top technology group employing 3,400 people, and following the latest technological trends, we keep investing heavily in new product development. With a diversified product range, civil products now account for about 20 percent of our net sales.
Patria is an interesting combination of old and new. Founding our operations on the aircraft industry, where our traditions go back for over 80 years, Patria has accumulated over 70 years of expertise in weapon systems and over 60 years in vehicles manufacturing. Over the years, we have gained significant know-how in these industries. Patria´s other core businesses include defence electronics, space technology, complex composite constructions, and equipment for aircraft winter maintenance and airfreight container handling.
