Akincilar Ballistic production facility

Akincilar Ballistic Defense Systems Industry and Trade Limited Company began R&D activities in Izmir in 2016 to develop ballistic protective body systems and vehicle armor solutions, and moved into serial production as of 2018.

Since its establishment, our company has adopted a defense industry-focused production approach. Since 2018, we have actively worked with the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Interior, and since 2022 we have operated with approved supplier status.

By combining our combat and field experience with today’s defense requirements, we develop innovative, operational and reliable products. In all our work, we provide high-quality solutions with a domestic and national production approach.

With our existing infrastructure, we have production capacity about 6 times the sector average.
