KUALA LUMPUR: Turkiye's defence electronics company Aselsan aims to expand its footprint in Asia Pacific, with a strong presence and an extensive line-up of national products.
The company is participating in the Defence Service Asia Exhibition and Conference (DSA) here together with over 1,320 companies from different countries.
Aselsan general manager Ahmet Akyol said the company is committed to fostering defence industry collaboration between Malaysia and Türkiye.
"Our participation in one of the largest defence exhibitions in the Asia-Pacific region should firmly signal Aselsan's dedication to strengthening ties by providing cutting-edge solutions.
"This is to meet the technological needs of not just Malaysia but other regional countries as well," he said in a statement.
He noted that Malaysia serves as a strategic hub for the company's growth plans in Asia Pacific.
Akyol said the company believes that is well positioned to capitalise on emerging opportunities and deepen its engagement in the region, with over two decades of presence in the Malaysian market and the establishment of Aselsan Malaysian Sdn Bhd in 2017.
He noted that the longstanding cooperation between Malaysia and Türkiye in the defence industry provides a solid foundation for the company's further push into the region.
Aselsan, he reiterated, aims to enhance its market share and establish itself as a key player in Malaysia's defence industry landscape.
"By leveraging our national systems and expertise, we seek to elevate Malaysia's defence capabilities and contribute to the country's advancement in the global defence arena," Akyol said.
