The Polish company Famor was chosen as one of suppliers of equipment for new submarines built for the Swedish Navy. An agreement on this matter between the Swedish industrial group Saab and the company from Polish Bydgoszcz was signed in Paris during the ongoing international armaments fair Euronaval 2018. It is not the first Polish company involved in the construction of Swedish submarines type A26.

Famor will provide operator consoles for monitoring on-board systems. According to the portal Defence24.pl, they will be mounted not only on Swedish ships, but also on units of this type possibly ordered by other countries.

Famor is the second company from Poland involved in the construction of A26 submarines for the Swedish Navy.

The delivery of the first new generation A26 ship for the Swedish navy is planned in 2022. This modern unit will be able to carry out missions during various conflict scenarios.
