ASELSAN to build five factories in Malatya
ASELSAN is preparing to establish a new manufacturing and technology complex consisting of five factories on a 66,000-square-meter site in Malatya, following instructions from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
The investment aims to strengthen industrial infrastructure in the earthquake-affected region, with the first factory scheduled for completion in August 2027. Abdurrahman Babacan, an AK Party lawmaker representing Malatya, stated that once all phases of the project are completed, Malatya will become ASELSAN's largest manufacturing and technology hub outside Ankara.
The new facilities are expected to expand production capacity in high-tech fields, including electronic circuit boards, chips, and software infrastructure. The investment is projected to increase employment opportunities for engineers, technicians, and technical specialists, attract supporting industries to the region, and boost high-value-added exports. Plans also include developing a railway connection to facilitate the transportation of products manufactured in Malatya to the Port of İskenderun.
