Nurol Holding has acquired the remaining 49% stake in FNSS, becoming the sole owner of one of Türkiye’s leading defense companies. After nearly 35 years of partnership with BAE Systems, this historic agreement establishes FNSS as a fully domestically owned entity. At a press conference in Ankara’s Gölbaşı district, Nurol Holding Board Member Gürol Çarmıklı and FNSS General Manager K. Nail Kurt emphasized that this acquisition is the result of a long-standing strategic collaboration spanning 35 years.
Company representatives confirmed that FNSS’s existing operational structure will remain unchanged, with its heritage and strategic vision further strengthened. FNSS aims to expand its presence in international markets with platforms such as Kaplan, Pars, Kunduz, and MAV (Marine Assault Vehicle), reinforcing Türkiye’s defense industry on a global scale. This acquisition marks a strategic milestone, further solidifying FNSS’s position in both national and international defense sectors.
