GKN Aerospace Sweden AB

At its Trollhattan facility, GKN Aerospace develops and manufactures components for aircraft engines and space rockets. We also offer engine maintenance services.
We have specialised in around ten highly advanced engine components for civil and military aircraft. This specialisation has been successful, and our components are found today in over 90% of all new large passenger aircraft all over the world.
We have been involved in the European space collaboration since the 1970s, and have developed advanced welding technologies used in the nozzles of the Ariane 5 rocket.
We have a testing and laboratory facility, and an extensive network of suppliers and specialised GKN companies.
