Where are ARCA’s factories? ARCA Defense produces at two main locations: its principal base, the integrated ammunition plant in the Çorum Sungurlu Organized Industrial Zone, and a secondary steel-body production centre in Ankara’s Başkent OIZ. The headquarters is in Ankara’s Çankaya district. This page covers the facilities using only public, safe information.

| Ankara Çankaya | Headquarters | – | Management and corporate functions |
The Sungurlu integrated plant
ARCA’s heart is the integrated plant on roughly 960,000 m² in the Çorum Sungurlu OIZ. ‘Integrated’ is key here: the company aims to gather different production links — from energetic-material synthesis to rocket and munition factories — inside one complex, securing production continuity by reducing external dependency.
The Ankara steel-body centre
The 10,000 m² centre in Ankara’s Başkent OIZ is dedicated to manufacturing the metal (steel) bodies of heavy ammunition. An artillery shell body must withstand high pressure and temperature, making steel-body production a critical pillar of integrated manufacturing.
Quality control and testing
ARCA stresses a ‘zero-defect’ discipline. In ammunition, quality control is a safety requirement, not just a preference — a faulty round endangers both the user and the plant. The qualification-firing images the company publishes show that rounds are tested under live-fire conditions.
