ASELSAN hosts President of the Republic of Poland, Karol Nawrocki

ASELSAN, Türkiye’s leading defense company and Europe’s fifth most valuable defense firm by market capitalization, hosted President of the Republic of Poland Karol Nawrocki at its facilities in Ankara.

During the visit to ASELSAN, President Nawrocki was accompanied by Haluk Görgün, Secretary of Turkish Defense Industries, and Ahmet Akyol, ASELSAN President & CEO. The delegation received a comprehensive overview of ASELSAN’s advanced defense technologies, with a particular focus on electronic warfare systems, air defense solutions, ongoing joint projects and the company’s serial production capabilities. The visit also provided an opportunity to exchange views on the evolving security environment and the growing role of advanced defense technologies in strengthening allied capabilities.

As part of the program, the delegation toured ASELSAN’s production facilities and manufacturing halls, gaining first-hand insight into the company’s high-volume production infrastructure and technology-driven manufacturing processes. The visit highlighted ASELSAN’s ability to deliver interoperable, scalable and operationally proven solutions aligned with NATO requirements, while also showcasing the company’s longstanding heritage and extensive experience in the defense sector.

ASELSAN’s engagement with Poland has recently been reinforced by a major export agreement for electronic warfare systems, signed in December 2025 and valued at approximately USD 410 million. The agreement reflects the confidence placed in ASELSAN’s high-technology, NATO-compatible solutions and its ability to support the evolving requirements of allied forces.

President Nawrocki stated that Türkiye is one of NATO’s strongest armies and emphasized that cooperation between the two countries’ industries is indispensable, stressing that collaboration between Türkiye and Poland is very important as both sides remain closely attached and have been strategic partners for decades.

ASELSAN President & CEO Ahmet Akyol stated regarding the visit: “It was an honor to present to President Nawrocki our advanced technologies developed for the requirements of the modern battlefield, as well as potential opportunities for future cooperation. As ASELSAN, we will continue to deliver trusted technologies to friendly and allied nations while strengthening our presence in international markets.”
