Türkiye’s Assan Group Acquires SA’s Dynaflow to Boost Global Bomb Fuse Capabilities

In a move set to shake up the global defense manufacturing space, Türkiye’s Assan Group Defense Industry has officially acquired South Africa’s Dynaflow Technology — a niche player in the design and production of advanced bomb fuse technologies.

This strategic acquisition not only brings cutting-edge fuse technology under Assan’s wing but also marks Türkiye’s growing footprint in international defense markets, particularly in Africa.

A Leap Forward in Ammunition System Integration

Dynaflow, based in South Africa, is one of the few global companies with deep expertise in developing and producing proximity and hard-target fuses for general-purpose bombs. These specialized components are critical for modern air forces seeking operational flexibility and precision in combat scenarios.

For Assan Group, this acquisition means more than just expanding its product portfolio. It allows the company to offer fully integrated bomb systems — complete with advanced fuse capabilities — a game-changing move that simplifies procurement for international defense clients.

Strengthening Market Presence in Africa and Beyond

Assan Group General Manager Gurcan Okumus expressed optimism about the deal, emphasizing how the acquisition aligns with the company’s long-term innovation roadmap.

“Dynaflow’s engineering depth and R&D strength match perfectly with our goals. By combining their fuse technology with our production capabilities, we’re ready to serve a broader market and deliver even greater value to our clients,” Okumus said.

With this merger, Assan Group is not only aiming to bolster its technological edge but is also positioning itself for a stronger presence across African defense markets.

Technology Synergy and Future Innovation

One of the major benefits of the deal is the fusion of Dynaflow’s electro-mechanical fuse expertise with Assan’s existing ammunition systems. From contact to time-delay fuses, Dynaflow has been supplying force-multiplying solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern air forces.

Assan Group plans to retain Dynaflow’s R&D teams, aiming to co-develop new technologies and customize systems for diverse military needs around the globe. This ensures continuous innovation and a faster response to shifting defense requirements.

Boosting Türkiye’s Defense Competitiveness

This acquisition is a testament to Türkiye’s broader ambitions to build a self-reliant, globally competitive defense industry. By integrating specialized international know-how, Assan Group is taking a crucial step towards vertical integration — a strategy that not only reduces dependency on foreign suppliers but also enhances its appeal in competitive global tenders.

As Türkiye continues to invest in R&D and form strategic international partnerships, deals like this one with Dynaflow reflect a clear intent: to lead in next-generation defense technologies.
