CANiK, a renowned global small arms manufacturer, made a significant move in December 2022 by acquiring the British company AEI Systems. This strategic acquisition has positioned CANiK as one of the world's leading companies in the production of medium caliber artillery. As part of its ambitious entry into 2023, CANiK is set to unveil one of its newest members, the VENOM LR, at the 16th International Defense Industry Fair (IDEF'23) in Istanbul from July 25-28.
