What Combitech does
Combitech is a Nordic technical consulting and solutions firm headquartered in Växjö, Sweden, founded in 1982 as part of Saab Group and operating today as a wholly-owned Saab subsidiary. With 2,755 employees across 30+ locations in Sweden, Finland, and India (Q1 2026), the company delivers services across defense systems engineering, cybersecurity, AI and data analytics, digital transformation, and industrial product development. Core offerings span defense capabilities (command and control, electronic warfare, military logistics, training and simulation), cybersecurity (TIBER framework testing, ITSEF Common Criteria evaluations, TEMPEST certification), and digital transformation services, supplemented by proprietary products including the AWOS automated weather observation system (deployed at 120+ airports worldwide via the i-MET family), Uptime for product lifecycle information management, Rodon reliability analysis tooling (used by Airbus and Saab), and SnipeIT neural-network training optimization. Combitech also operates Sweden's only independent TEMPEST laboratory accredited under national, EU, and NATO regimes, and publishes the annual Total Defense Report surveying Nordic business preparedness.
The company generates revenue primarily through professional services — billable consulting hours and project-based engagements on multi-year contracts — sold via direct enterprise sales to government agencies (Försvarsmakten, FMV, Swedavia, Coast Guard, MSB), defense primes (Saab, BAE Systems Hägglunds), NATO, and industrial clients. Revenue is recognized under Q1 2026 at 1,367 MSEK (16% YoY growth, 11.3% operating margin, 251 MSEK operating cash flow). Customer segments are organized vertically across Defense/Military, Industrial/Manufacturing, Civil Defense and Public Safety, and Sustainable Society. GTM is direct enterprise field sales with no channel intermediaries; thought leadership and brand building rely on the annual Total Defense Report, Almedalen seminars, and LinkedIn presence.
