Why it Matters
- The integration of Manisa's infrastructure will support the defense industry's development
- Roketsan's subsidiary is a crucial step in Manisa's evolution into the defense industry
- The company's annual revenue of over $2 billion and 6,500 employees make it a significant player in Turkey's defense industry
RSTEK Roketsan provides product lifecycle management, field technical support, and weapon system production, as well as integration services for air, land, and sea platforms. The company's quality control and inspection services meet military standards.
