About LöFAB

LöFAB was created to address a structural gap in the European defence market: the need for sovereign, scalable manufacturing capacity that complements, rather than competes with, established OEMs.

We operate as an OEM-neutral industrial partner, supporting:

​

• Licensed production and assembly

• Component manufacturing

• Maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO)

• Technology transfer and industrialization

• Programme scale-up from Initial Operating Capability (IOC) to Full-Rate Production (FRP)

​

Our role is to expand OEM capacity through manufacturing in Sweden, ensuring continuity of production and sustainment for eligible programmes within the scope of LöFAB’s ISP permit, including those requiring local manufacturing under applicable policy or programme requirements.

LöFAB is an ISP-approved manufacturer, licensed by the Inspectorate of Strategic Products (ISP), Sweden’s national authority responsible for defence manufacturing oversight and export control.

Our operations are aligned with:

​

• FMV (Försvarets materielverk) requirements

• EU defence industrial policy

• NATO programme standards and expectations

• Applicable export control and security regulations

This regulatory foundation enables LöFAB to support OEM programmes within Europe while maintaining compliance with national and international defence frameworks.

LöFAB operates a vertically integrated manufacturing operation in Sweden, supported by an EU-based supply chain, subcontractor network, and skilled workforce.

An initial 60,000 ft² / 5,574 m² industrial footprint is configured for phased expansion, redundancy, and continuity of operations, supporting programmes from Initial Operating Capability (IOC) through Full-Rate Production (FRP) for eligible customers within the scope of LöFAB’s ISP permit.

Facility is designed to support:

​

• High-precision machining and assembly

• NATO standard and military specification testing procedures

• Secure handling of controlled technologies

• Quality assurance and inspection

• Long-term programme scalability

LöFAB is structured to integrate cleanly into existing OEM programme models.

We support OEMs through:

​

• Licensed manufacturing under government-authorized technology transfer frameworks 

  Co-production and subcontract manufacturing

• In-country assembly, testing and configuration

• Sustainment and lifecycle management services

• Industrial ramp-up and surge mitigation

LöFAB does not market or sell proprietary weapon systems. Our focus is exclusively on manufacturing, sustaining, and supporting OEMs for government-authorized programmes.
