Saab will open a munitions production facility in Grayling, Michigan by the end of the year. Manufacturing work will begin in early 2026. The 388-acre plot is located near the largest Army National Guard training base in the country, with potential to hire at least 70 employees. The facility will feature advanced manufacturing capability to support the production of components for the Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb. Saab will now have 10 facilities operating in the U.S., including locations in Indiana, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Governor Gretchen Whitmer expressed support for the venture, highlighting Michigan’s history in weapons production.
