Kongsberg Gruppen (KONGSBERG) is an internationally-oriented knowledge-based corporation. The bulk of the Group's operations address international markets, with a strong and growing geographical distribution of earnings. KONGSBERG's two business areas, Kongsberg Maritime and Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace, are engaged in the same areas of technology. They both have their core competencies in signal processing, engineering cybernetics, software development services and systems integration.
Kongsberg Maritime
Kongsberg Maritime delivers products and systems for positioning, navigation and automation to merchant vessels and offshore installations, as well as products and systems for seabed surveying and monitoring, and for fishing vessels and fisheries research. The business area is a market leader in these areas. Important markets include countries with large offshore and shipyard industries.
Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace
Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace is Norway's premier supplier of high-technology defence systems. The Norwegian Armed Forces is the Group's most important customer. Solutions developed in collaboration with the Norwegian Armed Forces have proven competitive on the international arena. All defence-related exports are contingent on the approval of the Norwegian authorities. One key element of the market strategy is to form alliances with major international defence enterprises.
