RUAG Rolls Onwards + Upwards
Following the sale of the Swedish space company Saab Space and its Austrian subsidiary Austrian Aerospace by SAAB AB to Swiss technology group RUAG, the companies are now united under one name: RUAG Aerospace. The former “Saab Space AB” of Sweden and “Austrian Aerospace GmbH” of Austria are now known as “RUAG Aerospace Sweden AB” and “RUAG Aerospace Austria GmbH”, respectively. These companies are being combined with the Swiss space technology activities of RUAG to form one strengthened, Space business unit at RUAG Aerospace. This will enable RUAG to position itself as a pan-European supplier in the space technology segment and to offer its clients even more performance from a single source in the future. RUAG Aerospace in Switzerland is a successful niche supplier in the space business whose products include mechanical components, instruments and aerostructures for satellites and commercial launch vehicles, and for use at the International Space Station (ISS). Orders here originate from the European Space Agency (ESA) and various commercial clients.
