One of Türkiye’s leading defense and aviation companies, Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. (TUSAŞ), and ASPİLSAN Enerji, a leader in battery technologies, have signed a significant cooperation agreement under the Secretariat of Defence Industries (SSB) Industrial Participation and Offset Support Program for the development and production of aviation battery cells. With this Offset Agreement, the goal is to increase the localization rate in the design and production of Türkiye’s aviation batteries.

With the Industrial Participation and Offset support provided by the Secretariat of Defence Industries, the production process, which will take place at ASPİLSAN Enerji’s Battery Production Facility in Kayseri, will make a significant contribution to Türkiye’s localization efforts in the aviation and defense industries. The cells to be developed using domestic capabilities will be used in critical defense, aviation, and space projects, primarily for air platforms.
