About Bofors Test Center

At Bofors Test Center, we have been challenging the impossible since 1886. With our advanced testing equipment, we conduct testing of everything from individual components to complete weapon systems. At our extensive testing facility in Karlskoga, we conduct tests for both manufacturers in the defense industry and civilian companies worldwide.

Bofors Test Center was originally part of Bofors and became an independent company in 1999. Business-wise, the company stands on two legs; testing of weapon systems, ammunition, and missiles, as well as destruction of explosive materials. We generate approximately 330 million SEK in revenue and have over 115 employees. Half of the revenue comes from our owners and half from the rest of the European defense industry.

The company is owned by SAAB Dynamics, BAE Systems Bofors, and Eurenco Bofors. We have developed into a large and internationally recognized player in the testing field and conduct our operations mainly within Bofors Shooting Range, an area of 100 km². The current geopolitical situation in Europe has contributed to an increased demand for testing weapon systems, and the market is expected to continue to grow.
