As geopolitical dynamics continue to drive innovation across the U.S. defense supply chain, component manufacturers are being asked to do more than simply deliver steel—they must deliver engineered solutions.

For our team at Çelmer Çelik, this means going beyond producing near-net shapes. It means understanding the operational context, the stress behaviors, and the assembly dynamics of the parts we supply. Every profile—whether used in a trigger mechanism, barrel support, or locking component—is designed to perform with consistency under mission-critical conditions.

Design Starts with the End User in Mind

Our approach begins with intent. We collaborate with engineers and procurement teams to understand how a profile will be mounted, machined, and tested. Factors like weld zone behavior, surface response under high-velocity use, and dimensional interplay with surrounding components are considered early in our process.

The result? Profiles that reduce downstream machining, extend part life, and integrate seamlessly into assembly lines already under tight tolerances.

Cold Drawn, Hot Rolled, Always Tailored

Whether through cold drawing for tight dimensional control or hot rolling for complex cross-sections, our manufacturing is guided by flexibility. U.S.-based customers continue to rely on Çelmer Çelik not just for steel, but for application-specific thinking delivered in steel form.

Continuity in Capability

With successful deliveries already supporting programs in small arms, light tactical systems, and structural reinforcements, our production line remains adaptable to new geometries, alloys, and project scopes.

CEL-MER Steel is a leading Turkish manufacturer specializing in the production of high-precision steel profiles for global industries, including the defense sector. With decades of rolling and metallurgical expertise, our mission is to deliver performance-oriented solutions tailored to client needs.

We are proud to be contributing to the strength and precision of U.S. defense applications—and we welcome new collaborations.
