Will start 2022 from Las Vegas
CANiK, which won the export championship by adding a high-level dimension to its approach that exceeds the borders in exports last year, started 2022 by launching new products. Leaving behind a successful year as a reflection of its R&D and innovation efforts, CANiK starts the new year by landing in Las Vegas. As the 3rd largest company in its field in exports to America from all over the world, it will fly the flag of the Turkish defense industry with the title of export champion at the SHOT Show. It will be the representative of the great transformation of the Turkish defense industry at the SHOT Show, the world's largest and most comprehensive fair in the field of hunting and shooting accessories.
It will represent the transformation of the Turkish defense industry
C. Utku Aral, General Manager of Samsun Yurt Defense (SYS), stating that they have accelerated their global steps with the innovative products they have developed within the scope of R&D and innovation activities, said, “As a result of the championships we achieved in exports last year, we continue to gain strength in new target markets while adding strength to our existing markets. We are strengthening our position in the American market day by day. With the METE SFT and METE SFx models we developed in this context, we succeeded in raising our position in the American market. Since August 2, when we put these 2021 models on sale, we have sold close to 100 thousand units. With our increasing position in the market, we will mark the SHOT Show, the world's largest and most comprehensive fair in its field. We will reveal the great transformation of the Turkish defense industry with our official accessory program, which we will exhibit in addition to these new pistols and accessories at the fair.”
Our new competition pistol, optical sights, and our national anti-aircraft are also on their way to America.
The racing pistol SFx RIVAL, which CANiK first introduced in France, and the national anti-aircraft gun of our country, CANiK M2 QCB 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, are among the products to be showcased at the fair. In addition to these, MECANIK optical sights produced by SYS are among the new products to be presented to the US market.
Aral said, “At a time when the US pistol market, which has grown due to the Covid-19 epidemic, has started to shrink again in recent months, we want to support this climbing graph with our competition pistol, which we are very ambitious. We designed our new pistol after 18 months of work in our R&D center. All the features of our pistols are capable of providing a better shooting experience for sport shooters and personal defense pistol users. We prepared for a real show of strength at the SHOT Show with our newest products developed in the field of firearms. We will add a qualified value to the showcase of not only our company but also the Turkish defense industry with our products, which are a reflection of our deep-rooted history and innovative face. While we will increase our market share in the USA with our pistols and accessories that we will exhibit at our stand that we specially designed for 4 days at the fair, we will also promote our country. In this respect, the fair is a great source of honor and pride for us.” he informed.
Gained strength against world defense institutes with export championship
Stating that they have gained great strength against the world defense industries by adding the title of export champion among their numerous successes in 23 years, Aral made the following assessment regarding their 2022 targets: “This year, we accelerated our export journey with our domestic and national anti-aircraft M2 QCB 12.7 mm heavy machine gun. We will continue to represent the last point reached by the industry in R&D and innovation in the world. CANiK USA is one of our long-term investments. We will complete our investments of approximately 25 million dollars in our facility in Miami in 2022 and increase our production capacity in the USA to 250 thousand units, and thus we will have reached a total capacity of 450 thousand units, together with the capacity of 700 thousand units in Turkey. We will accelerate our global journey not only in America but also in different markets.” said.
