Defining Otokar’s recent status as an internationally competitive organisation, Serdar Gorguc, the General Manager, said: "Our vehicles are chosen by more users every year. In this respect, we’re constantly renewing and expanding our product range."
Highlighting the success of Otokar in international markets and considering assembly and manufacturing of Otokar vehicles in other markets rather than Turkey Gorguc continued: "Recently, we signed an MoU with Kazakh State Company, Kazakhstan Engineering for manufacturing COBRA in Kazakhstan. Additionally, we are also studying thoroughly different markets in different parts of the world for local production of our vehicles. In addition to these activities, COBRA is being awarded with contracts for the usage of different countries and United Nations Peace keeping missions. Today I can easily say that COBRA is one of the most desired and well-known armoured tactical vehicles of its range throughout the world. In line with this success our other vehicles are also being demanded and contracted by different forces. ARMA is a good example of this achievement by being awarded with two different contracts within a year.Besides our Internal Security Vehicle which is not exhibited in this Eurosatory is another success story in terms of gained contracts.
