As jobs are often the focus of large material orders, a requirement by the British DPA for signing a contract with the winner was that the production of the system would occur in the United Kingdom. For this reason, Saab Bofors Dynamics contracted UK-based Thales Air Defence ahead of the NLAW-programme—while Lockheed Martin contracted Matra BAe Dynamics. To produce the system, Saab and Thales went on to create Team MBT LAW UK which included 14 subcontractors.<ref name= "FMV Aktuellt 2001"/> As per the agreements signed between the United Kingdom and Sweden in 2002–2003,<ref name="Saab Bofors Dynamics"/> manufacturing occurred mostly in the UK, with final assembly and test done at the Thales Air Defence facilities in [[Belfast]], Northern Ireland.<ref name="Think Defence"/><ref name= "Saab May Contract"/> The weapon went into full production in 2008.
