BMC builds new plant

DEFENSE AND TECHNOLOGY --  One of Turkey’s leading armored vehicles producers, the privately-owned BMC, was given land to relocate its plant, a government minister said.

Turkey’s Science, Industry and Technology Minister Fikri Isik said that the government decided to allocate 222-hectares to the company in support of its expansion plans.

BMC will relocate from Izmir on Turkey’s western coast to Sakarya.

Isik said BMC’s new factory will become operational within two years.

He said BMC will invest 1.3 billion liras (approximately $430 million) in its new plant and employ 4,000 personnel.
