MKE Established the Second Ammunition Factory in Jordan

Machinery and Chemical Industry has completed the installation of its second production facility in Jordan for the filling and assembly of medium and large caliber ammunition and aircraft bombs.

MKE completed the installation of the Medium and Large Caliber Ammunition and Aircraft Bomb Filling and Assembly Facility within the scope of its second technology transfer project in Jordan. The facility will have the production infrastructure for the filling and assembly processes of ammunition of different calibers and aircraft bombs.

While the preparations for the commissioning of the new facility are reaching the final stage, the project reveals MKE's approach to transfer its production capabilities and technical know-how rather than just exporting defense products abroad.

First Facility in Operation Since 2024

The cartridge production facility established by MKE within the scope of its first technology transfer project in Jordan has been operating since 2024. With the completion of the second facility, the cooperation will go beyond the production of cartridges and include the filling and assembly of medium and large caliber ammunition and aircraft bombs.

The two facilities are intended to contribute to the development of Jordan's ammunition production infrastructure. MKE's maintenance contract for existing facilities in Jordan and negotiations for the establishment of new raw material production facilities also expand the scope of the company's activities in the country.

MKE's Technology Transfer Network Reached 9 Countries

MKE carries out a total of 11 technology transfer projects in 9 countries, with its completed and ongoing projects. In these projects, which include turnkey factory installations, production technologies and technical know-how are transferred to partner countries.

Within the scope of the projects, production, maintenance and repair training is provided to the personnel who will work in the facilities. MKE also provides technical support services to ensure that the established facilities can continue their activities.

This model enables the development of long-term technical collaborations while transferring Turkey's knowledge in the field of defense industry to production infrastructures abroad. With the establishment of production facilities, cooperation can be carried out in areas such as maintenance, training and technical support.

MKE Contacted Jordanian Officials at SOFEX 2026

MKE also participated in the SOFEX 2026 International Defense Industry Fair held in Aqaba, Jordan on 27-29 October 2026. The company exhibited the MPT-76 MH National Infantry Rifle, KN-12 Sniper Rifle, machine guns and machine pistols, as well as ammunition of different calibers and the MK82 aircraft bomb at the fair.

New export and technology transfer opportunities were evaluated in the meetings held with international military delegations. The completion of the installation of the second facility in Jordan stands out as one of the important steps of MKE's production and cooperation activities in the region.
