The factory and office buildings project developed for Ata Silah Sanayi A.Ş. and Armsan Silah Sanayi Tic. A.Ş. in Gebze, Kocaeli, is being constructed by DEA YAPI on a turnkey basis in 2023. Having embraced a modern production philosophy with strong R&D commitment and serving as leading names in Turkish defense and hunting firearms manufacturing, these companies have produced Turkey’s first over-and-under shotgun, first superposed shotgun, and first bolt-action rifled hunting gun — securing a pioneering position in the sector. The success journey of the firms, which export under the ATAARMS brand to 60 countries and began in Kayseri in 1959, now continues on a 31,800 m² site at the Gebze Marmara Teknokent Free Zone, following expansions in Düzce and Istanbul.
The project was planned as an integrated industrial building bringing together production, administrative, and technical functions within a unified complex. The security standards, precision production conditions, and R&D infrastructure required by the defense industry form the core inputs of the structural design. Infrastructure works covering drainage, fire safety, and MEP connections are being configured in line with international standards, while the superstructure combines steel frame and reinforced concrete systems to provide the flexibility required by production areas.
The Gebze Marmara Teknokent Free Zone represents a strategic district preferred for high-technology manufacturing and R&D investments. Its proximity to the TEM highway, ports, and airports offers strong logistical advantages for export-oriented companies operating across global markets.
Since 1988, DEA YAPI has delivered turnkey factory construction services to the defense, automotive, and advanced industrial sectors, bringing its technical discipline and quality assurance to the Ata Silah-Armsan project.
