Manufacturer catalog
TEREM Joint Stock Company is the catalog name for Bulgaria's TEREM defense-repair and production holding, a state-owned Ministry of Defence company whose plants support aviation equipment, ships, armored vehicles, small arms, artillery and missile weapons, ammunition, radar, and communications equipment.
1 weaponsTEREM's public identity is a holding-company network rather than a single modern product-line manufacturer. The official company history traces the organization to the Ministry of Defense's Military Repair Bases and Plants department, created in 1965 for Bulgarian Army repair, modernization, and spare-parts production. The same official history says TEREM EAD became a 100 percent state-owned sole stock company under a 17 April 1998 Council of Ministers order, after earlier defense-industry restructuring.
For the catalog, the most direct weapon connection is the Bulgarian BMP-23/BMP-30/BRM-23 armored-vehicle family. Forecast International identifies Terem SHC, Bulgarian Military Repair Factories as prime contractor for the family and states that TEREM Joint Stock Company took over production in the early 1990s after the Bulgarian State Factories developed the original BMP-23 and BMP-30 designs. Current official TEREM pages also show why the attribution remains structurally relevant: TEREM - Khan Krum handles armored-vehicle repair, modernization, production, and parts work, while the broader holding covers defense equipment sustainment across land, air, naval, weapons, ammunition, radar, and communications categories.
The catalog's BMP-23 entry covers the Bulgarian tracked infantry fighting vehicle family whose prime contractor is listed by Forecast International as Terem SHC, Bulgarian Military Repair Factories.

TEREM is treated as a Bulgarian state-owned defense repair, modernization, and production network. Public sources differ between TEREM Joint Stock Company, TEREM EAD, TEREM - HOLDING EAD, and Terem SHC; the profile uses those labels as aliases for the same catalog manufacturer context where sources connect them to the TEREM military repair-factory organization.
