Sawubona! CANiK in South Africa

Gun culture runs deep in South Africa, the land of Safari, where a man understands that a reliable firearm is like gold. There’s no time to doubt your tool of choice, not a moment to spare, it’s life or death in the African bush. The proving grounds of Rigby and Mauser, where many a professional hunter has also been hunted by his wounded Buffalo.

Respect is earned in Africa over many years. CANiK is a natural fit in this environment and more African countries are learning first-hand of the high quality and uncompromising attention to detail that CANiK offers. Now in South Africa CANiK has a dedicated showroom and sales team within the exciting distribution channel that is Bopshurus Pty. Ltd. (t/a BOSRUS). Based in Kyalami close to Sandton, the financial heart of South Africa, BOSRUS has a private showroom that offers clients both in South Africa and neighbouring countries a chance to experience some of the great Turkish CANiK magic.

How long has BOSRUS had CANiK in its sights?

Bosphurus’ Company Director, David Hiten, and his son, Wen, have had association with Samsun Yurt Savunma since 2017 and have pioneered the TP9 SF Elite as a perfect fit for security services and professionals. After introducing them to security companies who rely on these firearms, orders for CANiK pistols have been increasing rapidly as they have proven most reliable and easy to maintain. Everyone who experiences the products find that CANiK is a smart business choice with excellent ergonomics and great triggers to boot.

Why is BOSRUS passionate about CANiK and what does this mean for your business strategy in your market?

When you see an advanced research and development program that brings out products like the METE and RIVAL, Samsun Yurt Savunma has proven to be a partner that gives us confidence to make strong strategic business decisions. Together, we can deliver an uncompromising product into our market today, and exceed client expectations tomorrow. That is gold.

Can you tell us a little about your family run business philosophy?

As a family business, BOSRUS identifies strongly with the dedication of the entire team at Samsun Yurt Savunma and we are committed to bringing this corporate culture to Africa. We believe in building relationships that span generations, letting these partnerships grow with mutual trust and the idea that we are investing in the success of the next generation. Our experience has been that whoever we have dealt with at CANiK HQ has been absolutely committed to making sure that we have all the support necessary. CANiK, in essence, is big family with deep commitment to their products and customers. We identify closely with this philosophy and are inspired by the story of Samsun Yurt Savunma, a company that invests in ideas, people and the future.

What has BOSRUS planned for CANiK customers in South Africa?

We aim to win over customers through education on the products while providing a competitive value proposition. This will include rolling out service centers and warranty parts availability throughout South Africa. Availability of accessories also plays a critical role in this plan. The opportunity to offer our resellers a comprehensive catalog of holsters, magazines and add-ons gives CANiK the edge. When we look at the market today we see that one of the most exciting and advanced platforms available is undoubtedly CANiK. BOSRUS is focused on putting these ingredients into the hands of resellers in South Africa and the wider region. This mouthwatering pistol is on the menu and we have something for all tastes.

Another very exciting event to look forward to on 22-24th April is the Huntex 2022 show at Gallagher Estate in Johannesburg, South Africa. CANiK is attending with an exciting display of pistols. BOSRUS is very privileged to have the support of SYS to make this a reality and we look forward to welcoming Ms Didem Aral and Mr Ahmet Demirli to South Africa. Fans of CANiK will see a full display of Superior Firearms. See you there! Hall 2 Stand 212.
