Saab to divest its Public Safety Solutions operations
Saab today announces the divestment of its Public Safety Solutions operations to Norwegian Omda AS. Completion of the divestment is subject to certain conditions that are expected to be fulfilled in Q4 2026.
Saab Public Safety Solutions is a leading provider of situational awareness for mission critical organisations including police, fire, airport and transport, to enable faster, more informed decision-making and support a more coordinated response. The divestment is in line with Saab’s strategy to increase its focus on core areas of its business and, upon closing, Saab will divest its product unit Public Safety Solutions, including software solutions, customer base, and 75 employees transferring to Omda.
“As we strategically prioritize addressing the evolving needs of our defense customers, we anticipate that Public Safety Solutions will find even greater opportunities for growth and success within Omda. This decision is in line with our strategic objectives and aims to provide Public Safety Solutions with the optimal conditions to advance,” says Carl-Johan Bergholm, head of Saab’s business area Surveillance.
“Integrating Saab’s advanced Situational Awareness technologies into our Emergency product portfolio strengthens our offering and market position,” says Omda’s CEO Sverre Flatby.
“Current and new customers will gain access to a unique, integrated software suite that supports the entire value chain across healthcare, police, and fire services,” Flatby continues.
Based in Hull, United Kingdom, and Gothenburg, Sweden, Public Safety Solutions is renowned for its high-quality, accurate products that perform reliably in the most challenging conditions.
