Additionally, the Caracal stand will feature displays from Lahab Light Ammunition, LIWA Arms, and its subsidiary Merkel, a producer of luxury German hunting rifles.
Hamad Al Ameri, CEO of Caracal, said, “We are proud to be returning as a sector sponsor for another edition of Adihex. Caracal’s innovative journey to becoming a leading firearms producer in the region and global competitor in the firearms market reflects our commitment to the ‘Industry 4.0’ and ‘Make it in Emirates’ initiatives set out by UAE government. This year’s exhibition is an exciting one for Caracal, as we showcase our locally produced firearms and celebrate the UAE’s unique heritage through distinguished, one-of-a-kind pistols and hunting rifles.”
Caracal’s display will include MERKEL’s range of HELIX bolt-action, K5 single-shot, and JAEGER bolt-action hunting rifles, as well as three HELIX DELUXE hunting rifles with bespoke engravings inspired by UAE heritage sites and wildlife.
