Koval Systems is the second Slovak company to ink a deal with the Swedish firm after Dubnica-based Konštrukta Defense signed a contract to produce gun barrels for the Swedish army.
Officials at AE Systems Hägglunds say the company plans on signing a further 30 to 40 Slovak companies this and next year to participate in the production of the CV90.
