«Metal Forming»
In 2017 Founded under the name Kovansan Metal İşleme ve Makina Pazarlama Sanayi Ticaret Anonim Şirketi, our company has set itself the goal of being the best in metal forming.
We serve the Turkish defence industry in the machining of cartridge cases, a semi-finished ammunition component. In line with our country needs we renew ourselves every day and accelerate all work required to produce new case types, investing with determination and integrity as a company.
- Quality Policy — a continuously improved management system that fully meets customer, statutory and regulatory requirements.
- Our Quality Objectives — to make corporate development continuous and current performance as measurable as possible.
- R&D and Investment — regular investment in machine park, tooling design and metrology infrastructure to produce new case types.

Cartridge Case Anatomy Take a Closer Look At
Take a Closer Look At
The Part We Manufacture
The 9 × 19 mm case below is modelled exactly from CIP nominal dimensions. Drag to rotate and click a part name to zoom in.
Drag
Mouth
The end that seats the projectile. Length calibration and mouth trimming are done in the final stage; the wall is at its thinnest here.
Body
The main body formed by deep drawing. It is slightly tapered so the case seats fully in the chamber and extracts easily.
Extractor Groove
The groove the extractor claw grips. It ejects the spent case; its dimension is critical to the weapon mechanism.
Head
The thickest region, carrying the firing pressure. It is consolidated by pressing and is significantly harder than the body.
Primer Pocket
The pocket that seats the primer, plus the flash hole. Its depth tolerance directly affects ignition reliability.
Five key regions
Every region of a cartridge case is the result of a different production step and a different tolerance. Select the part you want to examine.
Production ProcessFrom Brass Disc
From Brass Disc
To Finished Case
A six-stage production flow that starts from brass strip using the deep drawing process and, through interstage annealing and surface treatment, reaches a finished case held to its dimensional tolerances. See the details →
01
Blanking & Cupping
Blanking the disc from brass strip and forming the first cup.
02
Deep Drawing
Wall thickness is reduced in progressive drawing presses to reach the case body length.
03
Interstage Annealing
Annealing in a controlled atmosphere removes work hardening and makes the material formable again.
04
Head & Primer Pocket
Case head pressing, primer pocket and flash hole machining, extractor groove cutting.
05
Calibration & Trimming
Mouth trimming, length calibration and finalising the diameter tolerances.
06
Washing & Quality Control
Surface cleaning, polishing, sample-based dimensional and visual quality control, packaging.
We Believe Quality Has to Be Measurable
Making corporate development continuous starts with measuring performance. Seven calibre families, a six-stage production line and seven certificates — all the result of the same discipline.
