Company News Brief - 1/2004
This is the first issue of the Company News Brief from Saab Aerostructures. Bimonthly we will from now on send you news from Saab Aerostructures. The Company News Brief is an opportunity for you to keep yourself updated with the latest developments in our business and on what is happening at Saab Aerostructures.
We hope you will enjoy the reading and find it interesting to regularly receive the Company News Brief from Saab Aerostructures.
In parallel to launching the Company News Brief we have just last week published our new website www.saabaerostructures.com where you can find useful information whether you are customer, supplier or media representative.
Since the start of our operation in 1997 we have worked intensively in every aspect to achieve and exceed our customer´s expectations and demands. Another important step in this process has been launched recently when we started activities to form our company values, our future development as Saab Aerostructures and what it means and requires being an employee at Saab Aerostructures. By an open dialogue at all levels we are building the ethics and values for the future Saab Aerostructures. I am personally convinced that this will make Saab Aerostructures more successful, and strengthen us as the aerospace partner for the future.
In case you have any comments or remarks that you want to address or share with us please do not hesitate to contact us at infoaerostructures@saab.se
