A Turkish manufacturer of prefabricated housing has announced the production of an armored security cabin for use by Turkey’s security forces.

Production and sale of the specially-developed armored cabin for the regions in Turkey requiring high security has begun, the company said in a statement.    
  
Karmod Prefabricated Technologies developed the cabin for Turkey’s security forces operating in high-risk areas, such as those in the country’s southeast, where outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) militants renewed an armed campaign last summer.      

“The cabins are manufactured with bulletproof glass at international BR7 standard and steel in the international NIJ standard,” Marketing Manager Abdullah Yüceer said.      

The 2.8-ton cabins will be used at police and military checkpoints and other sensitive locations.      

“Three sides of our products, which are glazed, also have safe firing grills on those walls,” Yüceer said. 

“These grills can be opened and closed easily. Having air vents, the product also offers a comfortable place inside beside its aesthetic design outside,” he added. 

The company has been exporting to more than 80 countries since 1986.
