FUMSAN / SINCE 1965
Our History
FROM CRAFT TO INDUSTRY
From a village workshop to an integrated manufacturing facility.
The story of FUMSAN Silah Sanayii began in 1965 at a single repair bench in the village of Fum, in the Lice district of Diyarbakır. Named after the village where it started, the business was established as the first firearms manufacturing operation in South-eastern Anatolia and has been developed by the same family for more than sixty years.
That accumulated know-how — from double-barrelled shotguns to rotating bolt head, gas-operated actions, and from the patented FT12 to the magazine-fed FS series — continues today at the integrated facility in the Diyarbakır Organized Industrial Zone.
