Swedish construction service

What Swedish construction service does

Svekon (Svensk Konstruktionstjänst AB) is a Swedish engineering services firm founded in 1971, headquartered in Solna with engineering operations in Borlänge and a manufacturing facility in Kungsängen. The firm operates an end-to-end product development model, executing projects from concept and requirements specification through prototyping, industrialization, and final delivery. Svekon serves Swedish government defence buyers—primarily the FMV (Försvarets Materielverk) and the Swedish Armed Forces—alongside enterprise clients across defence, consumer products, medtech, and automation. Named customers include Saab, Patria, MBDA, Monark Exercise, Twistshake, LOUQE, and MDialysis. The firm employs approximately 80 staff across its three Swedish sites and is privately held as a Swedish Aktiebolag (Org.nr 556622-0611).

Core deliverables combine mechanical design, electronics development, software, industrial design, prototyping, and technical documentation, executed through customised cross-disciplinary teams. In-house infrastructure comprises a Design Lab for rapid prototyping, an Electro Lab for electronics development, and a 5,400 sqm industrial facility in Kungsängen for large-scale builds and vehicle testing. Named recently-launched proprietary products include the MSMB 200 workboat (an aluminium military patrol craft for the Swedish Armed Forces and Home Guard), the Endurus weapon holder (an own-brand weapon retention product), a CE-certified ceremonial riding helmet, a hatch system for the Visby-Class Corvette developed with Saab, and a tracked-vehicle modernisation programme for the Swedish Armed Forces.

The revenue model combines professional services (dedicated engineering teams and complete delivery projects) with hardware sales, including own-brand and contract-manufactured products. Svekon prices via custom B2B/government quotations; no public pricing exists. Sales are conducted direct through business development directors and department heads, targeting government procurement and enterprise clients primarily within the Nordic region. The firm has held ISO 9001 quality and ISO 14001 environmental certifications since 2015 and 2014 respectively, and operates with CEO Johan Lantz, Deputy CEO Martin Frisk, CFO Frida Bergström, and Chairman Tony Cornelius (appointed 1 May 2026).
