As one of the rising names in the Turkish defense industry, CANiK is gearing up to demonstrate its strength at IDEF 2025.
Representing Samsun Yurt Savunma (SYS) Group, the CANiK brand will be part of a strong presence at IDEF 2025, taking place from July 22–27 at the Istanbul Expo Center. With multiple subsidiaries under its umbrella, SYS aims to reinforce its position as a global defense technology group.
This year, SYS is not attending IDEF merely as a firearms manufacturer. With operations in Türkiye, the United States, and the United Kingdom, the group will emphasize its transformation into a global engineering and technology enterprise offering end-to-end defense solutions.
IDEF is recognized as one of the world’s premier defense industry events, drawing sector leaders, policymakers, and cutting-edge technologies from around the globe. In this global arena, SYS Group plans to stand out with its proven field systems and forward-looking engineering capabilities.
SYS Group comprises several brands—CANiK, MECANiK, UNIROBOTICS, AEI Systems, and CANiK ACADEMY—forming a holistic defense ecosystem. Once known solely as a firearms provider, the group now delivers advanced systems for land, sea, and air platforms, becoming a trusted partner for defense stakeholders worldwide.
At the show, SYS will present its full portfolio under the motto:
"From Firearms to Robotic Defense Systems: One Group, One Vision."The lineup will include CANiK's latest firearm technologies, UNIROBOTICS' autonomous and robotic platforms, MECANiK's optical systems, and AEI Systems' engineering solutions. CANiK ACADEMY will also highlight its post-sale training and support services.
More than just designing weapons, SYS Group integrates complex systems that serve as force multipliers for end-users. Guided by the principle “Born in Türkiye, Proven Worldwide,” the group aims to build new global partnerships at IDEF 2025.
