Norwegian suppliers and Polish market representatives met in Oslo, Norway, to talk about entering Poland’s defence market at a seminar hosted by Advokatfirmaet Selmer AS and Domanski Zakrzewski Palinka (DZP). Speakers came from the Polish Investment and Trade Agency and from Norwegian companies already active internationally.

Our Business Development Director, Carina Brataas, spoke on Kitron’s journey from Arendal, Norway, to Grudziądz in Poland, and joined the closing panel: the thinking behind the investment, what we have learned from manufacturing locally, and where Nordic-Polish cooperation can go next.

For customers in Defence and Aerospace, the local presence is the practical point. Manufacturing in Poland, backed by our wider European footprint, means moving from industrialisation to serial manufacturing close to the programmes we support, with the lead times and continuity of supply the sector asks for.

Yesterday, our colleagues at Kitron Lithuania joined students and future professionals at KTU WANTed Career Days 2026 in Kaunas. Throughout the day, they spoke about opportunities at Kitron, from internships and first roles to long-term careers.

Many of our own engineers started the same way – joining Kitron as students, developing their skills, working with advanced technologies and growing into specialist and leadership roles across the Kitron Group.

Thank you to Kaunas University of Technology for bringing everyone together at Kaunas Žalgiris Arena!

AUSA 2026 is behind us, following three days in Washington, DC, and an evening spent with customers and partners from across the defense and aerospace community.

As a member of the Norwegian-American Defense Industry Council, Kitron used the week to meet with customers, partners, and industry stakeholders both on and off the show floor. The conversations continued at the Kitron Reception, where guests came together to discuss defense programs, manufacturing capacity, and future collaboration opportunities.

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth or joined us in the evening. We look forward to continuing those conversations through our site in Windber, Pennsylvania, supported by manufacturing capacity across Europe.

Kitron was at the University of Pardubice today, meeting students at the careers fair. 🎓

The Kitron Czech HR representatives Monika Renčínová and Ilona Čížová spent the day talking students through what an electronics manufacturing services company actually builds, assembles and supplies.

Our site in Lanškroun takes customer projects from first prototype builds through to serial manufacturing. That means engineering, quality, test and production roles side by side under one roof, and provides plenty of ways in for someone starting out.

Thank you to the University of Pardubice for having us! 👏

Two days of great conversations at AUSA 2026, and one final day still ahead.

Chris Gossard, Hans Petter Thomassen, Frode Ilebekk, and Gary Tarallo are at Booth 2817 in Hall ABC. Thank you to everyone who has visited so far; the engagement and feedback throughout the first two days have been very encouraging.

Today is the last day of the exhibition, but there is still time to stop by and connect with the team. Come and discuss how we can support your next program on its path to production.

Defense community is gathered in Washington, DC, this week, and so are we.

AUSA 2026 runs at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center through tomorrow. Hans Petter Thomassen and Frode Ilebekk are representing Kitron, a member of the Norwegian-American Defense Industry Council.

Capacity, qualification, and lead times sit near the top of most agendas this year. We manufacture in Windber, Pennsylvania, backed by the capacity of our European sites: electronic subsystems, complex assemblies, and fully integrated, tested systems ready for deployment at the scale your programs require.

In High-Level Assembly (HLA), a single product can carry dozens of screws, labels and identification points. When they are checked by hand, the result depends on the operator's experience.

To address this, the Kitron Global Automation Team developed an Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) machine for HLA. A robot guides the vision system through each inspection point, checking screws, labels and barcodes in a single cycle, and every result can be transferred to the production system as a traceable digital record.

As needs evolve, new inspection points can be added without redesigning the system, keeping it flexible for a growing range of products and quality requirements.

Last week we welcomed the team from Celare Quantum Communications to Kitron Denmark in Horsens to plan how to scale production of their quantum key distribution (QKD) systems.

"We are very excited about this partnership as we see Kitron as a leading company that can manufacture high-quality quantum solutions and, at the same time, drive down the price due to the scalable production volumes. Celare will be able to deliver affordable quantum key distribution solutions, which enable critical infrastructure providers such as telcos, government, healthcare and defence organisations to keep their sensitive data safe and trusted," says Asger Trier Bing, CEO of Celare.

Bringing QKD into wider use requires production at volume, at a price the market can carry.

"Manufacturing real quantum products is right on the innovative edge of advanced electronics manufacturing. We look forward to providing the manufacturing equipment, specialists and knowledge needed to manufacture these products to exact specifications for Celare," says Jimi Sandgreen, Managing Director of Kitron Denmark.

Quantum key distribution is moving out of the lab and towards volume production. That work is starting now in Horsens.

Construction is underway on our new production site in Gålnäs, Örnsköldsvik. Hans Petter Thomassen, VP Nordics & North America, and Rickard Vahlberg, Managing Director of Kitron Eltech, broke ground. 🚧

For customers, this is about capacity: more room for serial manufacturing in the Nordics and the ability to take on larger programmes as demand grows.

Growing demand from customers in defence-related industries is behind the investment. The new site adds 7,300 square metres of production space in Sweden, and once it is fully operational, we expect Örnsköldsvik to grow from 120 to more than 300 employees.

We look forward to taking this step together with our customers, partners, and colleagues in Örnsköldsvik.

Kitron has joined the Scandinavian-Polish Chamber of Commerce!

We were welcomed as a new member at SPCC's Welcome Back to Business Cocktail at the PKO Bank Polski Rotunda in Warsaw, where our Managing Director at Kitron Poland, Marek Browalski, received the membership certificate.

SPCC gathers more than 400 member companies, which makes it the third largest bilateral chamber of commerce in Poland, and most of them are Scandinavian companies operating in the Polish market.

Membership gives us closer contact with the Nordic-Polish business community and another arena in which to meet partners, customers and suppliers across both markets.

Thank you to the Scandinavian-Polish Chamber of Commerce for the welcome!
