KONGSBERG is an international technology and defence company that delivers high-tech systems and solutions for defence, security, space and ocean technology. The group is Norway’s leading supplier of defence equipment, known internationally for the Naval Strike Missile and the NASAMS air defence system, and is a strategic partner to the Norwegian Armed Forces and allied nations.
KONGSBERG’s history dates back to 1814, when Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk was founded, and the group has since reflected Norway’s security and industrial needs. The company comprises two business areas. Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace is Norway’s premier supplier of defence products and systems for command and control, surveillance, space, tactical communications, remote weapon stations and missile systems, and is internationally known for products such as the Naval Strike Missile and the NASAMS air defence system. Kongsberg Discovery develops advanced ocean technology for mapping, monitoring and communication in demanding maritime environments, with strong positions in seabed mapping and the sustainable management of ocean resources. The group is headquartered in Kongsberg, and the Norwegian state, through the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, is the largest shareholder with around 50 percent of the shares.
