General
Manager of Otokar Mr. Serdar Gorguc said that ‘being Turkey’s
leading design & production centre for armoured tactical vehicles
the aim of Otokar in this exhibition is to seek the opportunities to serve
the Indonesian Armed Forces through an extensive collaboration with Indonesian
Defence Industry’ and added: “We as Otokar, apart
from serving 50 different end users in 30 countries and being a listed
NATO & UN manufacturer, are naturally the main supplier of the Turkish
Military and Security Forces for wheeled tactical vehicles. Today around
28 000 Otokar military vehicles are in service in 4 different continents
of the world with an outstanding performance. We believe Indo Defence is an important event to seek new cooperation opportunities in Indonesia and also the entire South Eastern Asia. Besides, we are more than happy that we will have chances to meet the valuable leaders, commanders, and members of Indonesian military, listen their requirements, profit from their experiences and hopefully serve their needs with our vast and capable product range."
