Turan took up business in 1997 with the manufacture of hunting rifles in the town of Üzümlü. The company has taken an important place in the sector with the quality and variety of semi-automatic and pump action shotguns.
By carefully following the diversity in the market and the developments in the similar sectors, by 2007, Turan also started the production of sound bullets(blank ammunition) and hunting cartridges, thanks to the opportunities provided by the strengthening of its capital. The underground gallery-type explosive material production and storage facility, which it built for this purpose, included in the inventory. This facility was built on an area of 130,000 m² and was chosen as an exemplary underground explosive storage tunnel in Turkey in 2008 with its 125 meter long underground tunnel and the explosives warehouses.
The developments in the field of defense industry in Turkey have also positively affected Turan. By recognizing the increasing demand for the light weapons ammunition in the world and noticing that the attempts to meet the need in Turkey, Turan decided that the company's future should also be in this field. After completing the necessary infrastructure investments for this purpose in 2019, the production of 9×19 mm gun ammunition started as Turan Ammunition. Turan has already reached a production capacity of 50 million sound cartridges and 100 million 9×19 mm cartridges.
Our company, entered to the foreign markets with the bullet production, exports most of its production to America and European countries. Due to the high demand for 7.62 x 39mm and 5.56 x 45 mm ammunition in the world market, the 2022-2023 investment plan was revised and the necessary building, infrastructure and machinery equipment investments for the manufacturing and loading lines of these products were started.
