Defensor after its first year: strong progress and continued investment in Sweden’s defence capabilities
Defensor Group AB (“Defensor”) provides an update on the group’s business performance and development during 2026. Just over a year since its establishment, Defensor has built a Nordic defence industry group operating across several critical capability areas, with substantial investment in production capacity, specialist expertise and product development. The group is further strengthening its management team with the recruitment of Irma Nisu as Chief Financial Officer and Carl Insulander as Chief Legal Officer.
Based on its current assessment, Defensor expects full-year 2026 revenue to exceed SEK 1 billion on a pro forma basis, including 100 per cent of its subsidiaries’ revenue for the full year. The EBITA margin is expected to remain broadly in line with the previous year, at approximately 25 per cent. Growth in 2026 has been driven primarily by the C-UAS capability area. As is common across the defence industry, major projects and deliveries account for a significant share of Defensor’s business, meaning that revenue and earnings can vary materially between reporting periods and from year to year.
