Armscor underscores global expansion with Bridex
Top arms and ammunition manufacturer Arms Corp. of the Philippines (ARMSCOR) underscored its overseas expansion by participating in the recently held 4th Brunei Darussalam Defense Exhibition (BRIDEX).
Bridex is a biennial platform for leading manufacturers, suppliers and professionals to showcase the latest innovations and technological developments in the defense industry, with over 90 exhibitors from 30 countries such as the US, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Canada, China, France, Germany, Turkey, the United Kingdom as well as Poland, Belgium, Taipei, South Africa and Denmark.
The Bridex exhibit, which served as a venue for exhibitors to directly interact with decision makers and senior defense and military officials from all over the world, provided Armscor the opportunity to introduce its products to the Brunei market.
During the exhibit, Armscor presented His Majesty the Sultan of Brunei with a special edition gold- plated Model 1911 Caliber 45 pistol during the event. Armscor chairman emeritus Demetrio Tuason and Deputy CEO Gina Marie Angangco also signed a vendor agreement with Royal Brunei Technical Services ( RBTS) represented by CEO Hjh Rosmawati Hj Manaf. RBTS is the leading acquisitions and systems management service provider in Brunei Darussalam.
Tuason confirmed earlier reports of interest in Brunei. The Philippine manufacturer is hoping to secure contracts from the Royal Brunei Military and Police forces, with the products going through the requisite strict testing and qualifying procedures.
