FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dear CANiK Family, With each passing year, we expand not only our products but also our vision, our manufacturing philosophy, and our global impact. 2025 has been a powerful reflection of that momentum for CANiK and the SYS Group.
Being named Concealed Carry Pistol of the Year at the Industry Choice Awards—widely regarded as the “Oscars” of the firearms world—for our METE MC9 PRIME once again validated our commitment to quality, engineering excellence, and user-centred design on the international stage. This success belongs not only to our teams in Türkiye, but also to our colleagues at CANiK USA. As you know, this model was designed through close collaboration between our product managers in the United States and our R&D team in Samsun, and it is produced at our U.S. facility under the leadership of our Samsun manufacturing team. We are set to exceed our 2025 target of 60,000 units in the U.S. by year-end. My thanks to everyone across SYS Group who helped bring this programme to life.
Meanwhile, at major international events such as the Naval Security Conference and Close Combat Symposium 2025, we saw how right our investment decisions have been. Together with AEI Systems and UNIROBOTICS, our live-fire successes across land and naval platforms underscored the maturity of our medium-calibre solutions. Through a dedicated development programme enabling our 30 mm system to fire aluminium-cased ammunition as well as steel-cased, we achieved a world first. As we begin delivering systems with their ammunition, we will demonstrate the scale of operational advantage our solutions bring to the field.
