“ The most important goal of Defense Industry is to design original products while staying up to date with the technological evolution. Menatek Defense Technologies is taking firm steps towards this goal for its professions. I have 50 years of industrial experience as an engineer, both military and civil backgrounds.

For this objective; I dreamed, believed, worked hard and dedicated myself. Luckily, my kids took Menatek above my ideals. ”
