PESHAWAR: Pakistan Hunting and Sporting Arms Development Company (PHSADC) has finalised all arrangements for the display of locally manufactured small arms at an international exhibition (IWA) in Germany from March 13 to 16.

According to a press release issued here on Wednesday, Chairman PHSADC Nauman Wazir said they had planned to avail the opportunity of exhibiting locally manufactured hunting and sporting arms at the exhibition.

He said the PHSADC has collected artifacts prepared by the gunsmith of Darra Adam Khel, Peshawar, Wazirabad and Sialkot for displaying them in the show.

He went on to say that the company has already booked stalls in the exhibition and sent a team of its officials to Germany for proper arrangements for displaying the products.

Wazir said it was for the first time that PHSADC was taking an initiative to display the craft and skills of Pakistani gunsmith in the international exhibition.

He further said the artifacts including wall hangers, replicas and old vintage weapons made by artifacts of Darra Adam Khel have great demand in the international market.

“The small arms industry has great potential and the country can earn millions of dollars by making way for the export of the product abroad,” he added.

The IWA exhibition, he added, is the second largest event and representatives of international companies visit to get information on latest technology in sporting arms.
