Advancing Steadily to Our Globalization Goals with MECANiK
As Samsun Yurt Savunma (SYS) prepares to celebrate its 26th anniversary, the company has grown into a significant corporation, We continue to develop our group companies and brands in line with our vision of being the best in the field.
One of the group companies created as part of this ambitious vision is MECANiK, which I will discuss in this message. MECANiK was established on April 9, 2021.
Firearm, Accessory, and Textile Sales All in One Place
MECANiK manages domestic firearm sales in Türkiye, conducted through MKE, and sells textiles and accessories both in the country and abroad. It operates through CANiK Store locations in Ankara, Istanbul, and Samsun. These activities are carried out by our Promotion and Marketing Department for Domestic Firearms, CANiK Stores, the Corporate Marketing Department, and the Shooting Ranges and Sport Shooting Clubs Division.
MECANiK Staff Ready to Assist at MKE Sales Points
Our Promotion and Marketing Department for Domestic Firearms manages and maintains relationships with all public institutions in Türkiye, promotes new products and services on-site, and identifies market needs. Additionally, our experienced staff is present at the firearm sales points in Ankara and Istanbul, as firearm sales are currently conducted exclusively by MKE in Türkiye through those points, to provide the best possible service to our customers.
MECANiK Offers Consumers a Novel Sales Model Across the Globe
Our stores in Ankara, Istanbul, and Samsun, operating under the CANiK Store brand, feature nearly 700 accessories and over 100 different MECANiK-branded tactical textile products. Our trained and specialized staff promote these products, along with showcasing all of our firearm models in our stores. Additionally, our e-commerce channel, which operates under our retail structure, ensures that purchased products reach every corner of Türkiye.
An employee from our Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) Department, which operates under the SYS Group, is also available in our CANiK Stores in Istanbul and Ankara. This team member provides technical support to consumers on all matters, especially regarding the accessory purchases made in our stores. This personnel assists with the installation, setup, or maintenance of any accessory or CANiK-branded firearm before handing it over to the customer.
Another important point I would like to emphasize is that, especially after consolidating the retail structure and firearm sales operation under MECANiK, we have gained the capability to offer the most advantageous sales campaigns for the benefit of consumers. By integrating firearm sales with accessories and tactical textiles, we provide consumers with a sales model that is unmatched worldwide. For instance, in one marketing campaign, customers who purchased firearms from MKE could receive gift vouchers, various product gifts, or significant discounts; our staff assists them in selecting from our product range of nearly 1,000 items. As a result, our customers not only purchase a firearm but also enjoy the most suitable accessory or textile product to complement their purchase.
MECANiK Tactical Textile Products in 3 Continents, 10 Countries
The increasing demand for tactical textiles and the growing interest in outdoor apparel has made these areas a key focus for our Corporate Marketing Department. This unit is responsible for delivering the apparel worn by esteemed organizations in our defense and aerospace industry during their promotional activities as well as at various events, both in Türkiye and abroad. Our Corporate Marketing Team has so far supplied clothing for numerous organizations, particularly defense and aerospace companies across the world, introducing MECANiK to many users.
We have successfully sold MECANiK tactical textile products, featuring cutting-edge innovation and optimal features, across 3 continents and in a total of 10 countries. Additionally, we are offering our products to the entire world. We are committed to achieving our goal of globalization with our textile products in the coming years.
We Are in Contact with Approximately 80 Shooting Ranges Across Türkiye
The Shooting Ranges and Sports Shooting Clubs Division within MECANiK is the unit responsible for the around 80 shooting ranges operating in our country. Our team members in this division regularly visit these ranges to identify their needs, share industry developments, and relay the feedback they receive to the relevant departments within our company. We are dedicated to the advancement of sports shooting, and we recognize the importance of shooting ranges as the first destination for individuals interested in firearms, whether they pursue sports shooting as a hobby or use firearms professionally, we continue our efforts in this area without any breaks.
Dear Readers,
In this article, I’ve tried to convey how we operate at MECANiK. Our unwavering commitment to excellent customer satisfaction and the highest level of service quality is a constant source of motivation for us. The smiles on the faces of our guests as they leave our stores, the trust they place in our CANiK and MECANiK brands, and the warm embrace from every citizen who eagerly awaits and welcomes our field teams across the country all reflect the esteemed position our CANiK brand holds in the eyes of consumers.
Our inclusion among the largest 500 industrial enterprises, our rise to 146th place in exports among all industrial companies, and our position among the top 10 companies in defense and aerospace exports are all sources of pride for us, serving as indicators of our contributions to our country.
I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank all our stakeholders within the SYS ecosystem who have played a role in this great success. I want to reiterate that the point we have reached is never enough for us; every day, we strive to do better than the day before, and our goal is always to provide you, our valued followers, with the best products, the best service, the finest customer experience, and the highest level of customer satisfaction in every aspect.
Wishing everyone healthy, happy, and beautiful days ahead.
