SARSILMAZ at BAMEX 2025 with African-specific solutions

SARSILMAZ, a leading company in the Turkish defense industry, continues its strategic expansion into the African continent. The company, which will be present at the BAMEX 2025 fair to be held in Bamako, the capital of Mali, from November 11-14, 2025, is poised to be one of the most prominent exhibitors with its products that directly address regional security needs.

Mali, geopolitically positioned at the heart of Africa between the Sahel and West Africa, is preparing to host a major trade fair exclusively for Turkish defense companies. Held at the heart of the African market, a key region in SARSILMAZ's export-focused growth policy, the fair will host industry professionals from African countries. This major event in Mali will also feature shooting activities where the performance of the exhibited products can be observed firsthand. In this respect, BAMEX 2025 stands out as one of the few events that offers attendees the opportunity to experience the products firsthand.

“UNSHAKABLE IS ENOUGH FOR AN ARMY”

With a product range capable of equipping an army, SARSILMAZ will be present at BAMEX 2025 with prominent models such as the SAR127 MT, SAR762 MT, SAR56, and SAR9 weapon families. Poised to meet all the weapon needs of the redesigned armies of African countries, the SARSILMAZ weapon family stands out with its adaptability to diverse operational environments, durability, and user-friendly design.

SARSILMAZ's extensive product range, including the SAR9 pistol series, produced entirely with domestic design and engineering, will be available to professionals at the fair. Striking products at the SARSILMAZ booth, such as the SAR 127 MT heavy machine gun, the SAR 762 MT, developed for infantry and vehicle-mounted use, and the user-friendly and ergonomic SAR 56, are expected to attract considerable interest from fair visitors.

Malian officials announced that the fair's theme is "Africa at the center of global defense innovation," a theme that brings new opportunities for SARSILMAZ, one of the sector's largest investments in innovation and R&D. The fair is seen as an extension of African countries' drive to "rebuild security resilience." SARSILMAZ, which has pioneered domestically developed and nationally developed weapons for Türkiye's armed forces, is poised to play an active role in the redesign of African armies.

SARSILMAZ's participation in BAMEX 2025 demonstrates its commitment to expanding its reach in Africa. Further enhancing brand awareness in Africa, establishing direct contact with local public and military officials, and expanding potential representative networks are among the cornerstones of this strategy.

During the fair, SARSILMAZ will focus on developing new partnerships, holding one-on-one meetings with public and military officials, and adapting its product line to the region's needs. The company aims to establish sustainable collaborations in the defense industry across Mali and West Africa.
