Our Bureau - : May 16, 2023 - : 12:20 am

Israel Weapon Industries (IWI) has announced the signing of a ToT (Transfer of Technology and Knowledge) agreement with FAME, under which both companies will establish an assemblance and production line in Peru for the ARAD family of assault rifles.

IWI is a member of the SK Group and a producer of combat-proven small arms for military forces, police units, law enforcement agencies, and governmental entities around the world. Under the terms of the agreement, both companies will establish an assemblance and production line in Peru for the ARAD family of assault rifles.

IWI will provide FAME with technological knowledge regarding small arms assembly, advanced quality assurance and maintenance processes. In the future, the companies will also explore the possibility of expanding production to include additional weapons and relevant optical sights for the country’s defense and security forces.

“IWI is proud to have signed a cooperation agreement with FAME, which further strengthens its activities in Peru and in Latin America,” said Ronen Hamudot, Executive VP Marketing and Sales of the SK Group. “This is the first step in a cooperation that will generate employment opportunities in the country and is expected, over the next few years, to be expanded into the local production of IWI’s various small arms, as well as other SK Group solutions – like Meprolight’s day sights.”

“IWI is a world-leader company, with decades of proven experience in the development, production and marketing of small arms,” said Leoncio Noriega, Commercial Director of FAME. “This signing aligns us with a partner that has rich experience and technological knowledge that it will share with FAME, as part of the agreement, promoting the military industry of Peru. We are sure that the cooperation between the companies will be fruitful and long-lasting.”
