Orbital ATK has set up an affiliate in the United Arab Emirates through a partnership with Al Tuff International to support its growing business in the region. The affiliate, Orbital ATK LLC, will provide defense product sales and services related to small-, medium- and large-caliber ammunition production; precision and strike munitions; special mission aircraft; and Bushmaster cannons. "Orbital ATK has been supporting our Emirati ally for many years with both products and infrastructure support," said Mike Kahn, president of Orbital ATK's Defense Systems Group. "Our new Emirati business is important as we further enhance our commitment to being a strong regional partner." Added Chris Beach, general manager of the new affiliate: "We will strive to add value in the Emirates by the introduction of innovative products, services and technologies. Our company shares the national goals of Emiratization and supports key partner organizations like the Emirates Defense Industries Companies, Tawazun and Mubadala, in achieving their objectives." Orbital ATK and Al Tuff International first opened a branch office together in Abu Dhabi in 2010. The new company will move into offices co-located with Al Tuff International on Reem Island.
