Igår 28 april besökte överbefälhavaren Michael Claesson GKN Aerospace i Trollhättan för att ta del av svensk flygmotorindustri och diskutera hur industri och försvar tillsammans kan stärka Sveriges försvarsförmåga. – Försvarsmaktens utveckling är beroende av att vi tänker nytt och agerar snabbt tillsammans med svensk industri. Här på GKN Aerospace ser vi hur initiativ inom bland annat additiv tillverkning kan korta ledtider, öka tillgängligheten och stärka vår uthållighet. Den typen av innovationskraft är nödvändig för att möta morgondagens hot, säger överbefälhavare Michael Claesson. GKN Aerospace, har i nära 100 år haft en central roll i utveckling, tillverkning och underhåll av flygmotorer till svenskt militärflyg. I dag ansvarar bolaget bland annat för underhållet av motorerna till Gripen C/D och Gripen E, och arbetar samtidigt med nästa generations motorteknologier och motorsystem. – För oss handlar det om att vara en stabil och långsiktig partner till Försvarsmakten, samtidigt som vi fortsätter att utveckla ny teknik och nya förmågor. Det är så vi kan bidra till ett starkare svenskt försvar även framåt, säger Joakim Andersson, koncernchef på GKN Aerospace. Länk till pressmeddelandet hittar du i kommentarerna.

GKN Aerospace is a strong example of what world-class aerospace manufacturing looks like in Chihuahua. Operating across both Aerostructures and EWIS (Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems), their 160,000 sq. ft. facility brings together a highly capable team of 530+ professionals delivering complex, high-value processes. From sheet metal structural assembly and composite curing, to wire harness integration, floorboard assembly, and advanced painting and sealing applications—this is the kind of operation that defines competitive aerospace platforms globally. But what truly stands out is the momentum. A young, dynamic workforce (avg. age 35) that continues to gain experience, combined with sustained growth and increasing capabilities, positions GKN Aerospace as one of the key players driving the next phase of aerospace expansion in the state. Thank you Miguel Ramírez Uranga for hosting us—we truly appreciate you sharing your experience and knowledge. This is how Chihuahua keeps raising the bar. #aerospace #chihuahua #manufacturing #gkn #mexico #aerostructures #wireharness
