REPKON
Additional Details
REPKON is a Turkish industrial group founded in Turkey in 1978, operating within the defense industry sector. Initially focusing on metal forming and machinery production, the company later shifted its focus toward the production of military ammunition. The company's United States subsidiary operates in Garland, Texas. Repkon USA, the U.S. subsidiary of Repkon, acquired the manufacturing facility in Garland, Texas, from General Dynamics in March 2025. This facility is recognized as the sole plant in the United States capable of producing Mark 80 series (MK-81, MK-82, MK-83, and MK-84) bomb bodies. These bodies serve as core components for the JDAM (Joint Direct Attack Munition) precision guidance kits utilized by the U.S. military and the Israeli Air Force in The Gaza genocide . In March 2026, following international controversies and public debates regarding ammunition sales to Israel, Repkon USA rebranded and changed its name to Paligen Technologies.
