Europe and Sweden are currently undertaking a major build-up of military capabilities, creating long-term needs for increased materiel procurement. At the same time, the security environment means this must be done under stricter requirements for delivery capability, flexibility, and the ability to understand and adapt offerings to customer needs. We want to support companies active in, or acting as suppliers to, the defence industry in navigating a more complex procurement environment and help ensure that the right capabilities are delivered on time, says Anna Grönlund, CEO.
Per Lodin is a former Major General and has held several senior positions related to materiel and supply issues, including Head of the Strategic Materiel Management Department (SML) at FMV (2007–2014) and Head of the Acquisition and Logistics Department at FMV (2014–2016). He therefore has deep experience in procurement, requirements setting, and execution within technically complex and long-term defence projects.
Sweden’s and Europe’s rearmament places high demands on both industry and public authorities – from early needs analysis and procurement strategy to contracts, delivery, and sustainment. Hallvarsson & Halvarsson can be a valuable partner for companies that want to act proactively, understand the playing field, and strengthen their position in upcoming procurements, says Per Lodin.
During 2026, Hallvarsson & Halvarsson will further develop its support for both existing and new clients with links to the defence industry, with a focus on strategic advisory services, stakeholder dialogue, and communications.
