Based near the mountain bearing its name, a name in ancient times that meant a place of protection, Canik has been a significant player in the aerospace defense industry for twenty years and 2019 marks its 10th year as a world-leading firearm manufacturer.

The company’s aerospace manufacturing expertise led to partnerships with Lockheed Martin, Airbus and Boeing, which in turn enabled the development of a high quality polymer pistol and the beginning of the TP series and adoption by Turkish Law Enforcement.
