UK defence companies converge on Turkey for IDEF show

IDEF has traditionally had a solid UK presence and this year will be no exception. A|D|S is organising the UK pavilion, which contains 13 organisations, promoting their skills and expertise to a global audience. UK companies exhibiting include General Dynamics UK, Paramount Panels UK, and Polamco. All these exhibitors will be receiving the active support of UK Government agencies UKTI Defence & Security Organisation (UKTI DSO), also exhibiting with the Pavilion.

Gordon Lane, Managing Director Defence of A|D|S, said: “Turkey is a key strategic partner for the UK in many ways, and as the calibre of the UK exhibitors demonstrates is also an important market for UK defence companies.

”There are clearly major opportunities for the industries of both Turkey and the UK, and IDEF brings together the best of our nations’ manufacturing. On the UK pavilion we have some great examples of British engineering talent with both Primes and innovative Small Medium sized Enterprises exhibiting side by side, and all eager to do business. A|D|S is therefore looking forward to a highly successful show.”
