FNSS executives, led by FNSS Defence Systems Inc. General Manager Nail Kurt, and OSSA members met in Ostim Organized Industrial Zone.
FNSS met with defense industry manufacturers to evaluate the challenges encountered in the collaboration process and to discuss future cooperation. FNSS's vision, recent and upcoming projects, potential and opportunities for subcontractor collaboration, subcontractor policies, and expectations were discussed. Manufacturers requested support from FNSS in expanding the volume of work given to subcontractors, as well as training and consultancy services.
Ankara Chamber of Industry (ASO) President Nurettin Özdebir also attended the final part of the meeting and gave a speech. Özdebir praised the success of FNSS A.Ş., which is among Turkey's top 500 companies, and also provided information about the exhibition that ASO will organize in Ankara in October, which will showcase the needs of the Turkish Armed Forces.
NAIL KURT: General Manager of FNSS
“As FNSS, we have been working with companies in Ostim for a long time. We find them successful. We also appreciate the clustering efforts of the Ostim management. This is an ideal structure for us because we can now communicate our ideas and expectations to the companies through a strong organization. Clustering will create synergy. Our company does not want to inflate its workforce with numerous units and employees. We direct many parts to subcontractors. Clustering will transform the subcontractors we want to work with into a strong organization. The policies of the Undersecretariat of Defense Industry encouraging the increase of SME share in the sector also encourage the main manufacturers. Our subcontractors should pay more attention to quality, improve their welding technologies, and give more importance to occupational health and safety. As FNSS, we are at the service of our suppliers with our purchasing, marketing, R&D, and other units.”
