On 21 November, Pakistan’s Wah Industries Limited (WIL) signed an agreement with the Turkish defence contractor Repkon to set up an ammunition body production and filling line at WIL’s facilities for 155 mm artillery shells. This new facility will be able to manufacture 120,000 artillery shells per year.
Repkon is an industrial systems company that supplies machinery for aerospace, oil and gas, automotive, and petrochemical industries. The company also carries out its own original R&D to “develop strategically important technologies” for Turkiye across both defence and civilian sectors.
WIL was established in 1958 as a commercial subsidiary of Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF), which is the country’s primary manufacturer of small arms, small arms ammunition, and artillery shells.
While WIL markets and sells some POF goods to the domestic civilian market, its work has expanded into numerous products for industrial uses, such as steel, gases, and explosives, among others.
