HANZA has been named “Supplier of the Year 2026” by Saab Surveillance for its delivery capabilities under demanding conditions. The award was presented during the Saab Surveillance Supplier Day in Gothenburg on April 28.
– We are incredibly proud of this award, which also serves as a testament to the strong partnership between our teams at Saab and HANZA, says Erik Stenfors, CEO of HANZA.
In its statement, Saab highlights HANZA’s strong commitment, high delivery precision, and ability to continuously improve operations. Through a proactive approach and close collaboration, HANZA has established an effective and trusting partnership.
During the day, Erik Stenfors, HANZA’s CEO, also participated in a panel discussion with Saab executives on the topic of how production can be scaled up more quickly in a time of increased demand for defense and security products.
– The ability to rapidly increase volumes is still limited by the complexity of supply chains. The greatest opportunity lies in simplification—fewer interfaces, fewer hand-offs, and more integrated, regional manufacturing,” says Erik Stenfors.
HANZA’s business model is based on consolidating production into regional clusters to simplify supply chains and increase flexibility and delivery capacity.
