Türkiye's ARCA Defense signed a landmark agreement at SAHA 2026 in Istanbul today to build a €300 million ammunition factory in Põhja-Kiviõli, Estonia.
The plant, fully funded by ARCA via its Estonian subsidiary, will produce 155mm artillery shells, 60/81/120mm mortar rounds, and 122mm rockets primarily for European and NATO export, with production starting in 2028 and creating up to 1,000 jobs.
Estonia's Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur called the signing "historical."
