Turkish defense giant SYS Group is making new investment moves in the UK.

Following the 17th International Defense Industry Fair in Istanbul, SYS Group, a leading representative of the Turkish defense industry, has turned its attention to DSEI London (Defense and Security Equipment International), one of this year's most important global sectoral gatherings. Held biennially, DSEI London 2025 will take place from September 9-12 at the ExCeL London Exhibition Center. The fair will bring together decision-makers, users, and suppliers operating in the defense and security sectors from around the world.

SYS Group, along with its subsidiaries CANiK, UNIROBOTICS, MECANiK, and UK-based AEI Systems, will have a strong presence at this prestigious fair. The fair holds great potential for SYS Group to consolidate its position in the global defense market and deepen its collaboration with participating countries, particularly the UK.

The event in the United Kingdom holds special significance for the Group due to AEI Systems' strategic presence in the country.

AEI Systems is positioned as the Group's production, design, and business development hub in the UK. Having specialized in medium-caliber artillery for many years, AEI Systems has strengthened its global market presence, particularly with its low-recoil 30x113mm medium-caliber cannon, the VENOM LR. SYS Group has become one of only three manufacturers in the world in this field, gaining a significant advantage in global competition. Through AEI Systems, SYS Group aims to further integrate into the British defense ecosystem and provide unique solutions to meet the country's defense needs.

SYS Group General Manager Cahit Utku Aral emphasized the strategic importance of the DSEI Fair for the Group and its companies. Aral noted that the United Kingdom is a significant market with a deep-rooted history and advanced technology in the defense industry, saying, "The DSEI Fair is the heart of this market. The presence of our Group's UK-based company, AEI Systems, further strengthens our ties with the UK and enables us to expand our goals there. With AEI Systems' contribution to our existing high-value-added products, we aim to establish new collaborations and develop existing relationships in the UK and global markets. We will reiterate this commitment with our strong participation and wide product range."

The largest machine gun family

SYS Group will present a wide range of products to the attendees at the DSEI Fair.

All of CANiK's actively sold pistols, which have achieved great success in the global market and are preferred by security forces in NATO countries and various geographies, will be exhibited at the fair.

CANiK, which has the world's largest machine gun product family, will also introduce all its solutions in the 12.7x99 mm (.50 cal) class to fair visitors.

A wide range of accessories from CANiK and MECANiK, which enhance the performance of both weapon systems and users, will be showcased at the fair. AEI Systems' VENOM LR 30x113mm cannon and the accompanying concept will be one of the most striking solutions at the fair. The 30x113mm cannon, featuring the world's lowest recoil and variable rate of fire, is designed for both land and naval platforms. The VENOM LR distinguishes itself in the global market as the only revolver capable of operating with both US and European ammunition standards.

UNIROBOTICS will be present at the fair with its TRAKON LITE and TRAKON 30 Remote Controlled Weapon Systems, which have successfully operated on different platforms.
