Fokker Elmo, a business unit of Fokker Technologies, has officially opened its new 8,000 m² manufacturing facility for aerospace and defense electrical interconnection systems in the Aegean Free Zone in Izmir Turkey. Manufacturing in Izmir since 2008, Fokker Elmo’s newest facility now employs 275 highly qualified staff supported by the proprietary integrated Wiring Design and Manufacturing System (WDMS).
