The Supplier Award Ceremony regarding “FNSS Approved Suppliers and the Suppliers that contributed to the production of Pars III 8x8 Tactical Wheeled Armored Vehicle Prototype” was carried out at the FNSS production facilities located in Ankara Gölbaşı on 2 December. The representatives of the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries, the Chamber of Commerce and the press participated in the ceremony, together with the companies that will receive new certificates and the suppliers whose certificates are to be renewed.

Within the framework of 3 main categories, namely administrative structure, quality management system and applications as well as production and operational capabilities, a total of 58 suppliers were awarded with the “FNSS Approved Supplier Company” certificate, which will be valid for three years. The plaques of indigenous suppliers contributing to the production of the PARS III 8x8 Tactical Wheeled Armored Vehicle Prototype, which FNSS has developed in an export project, were presented with the certificates.
