Founded in 2008, Nurol Teknoloji is a member of the Nurol Holding Group, established to manufacture advanced technical ballistic ceramics. From its inception, the company has prioritized research and development, achieving significant progress by developing and producing high-temperature sintering furnaces essential for its manufacturing infrastructure. Over the years, Nurol Teknoloji has expanded its journey from advanced technical ceramics into cutting-edge ballistic solutions.

The company’s product portfolio includes Alumina, Silicon Carbide, and Boron Carbide ceramics, alongside Tungsten Carbide ceramics used in civilian applications. Nurol Teknoloji produces advanced ballistic ceramics and hybrid ballistic protective armor solutions under one roof at its manufacturing facilities based in Ankara, primarily serving the Turkish Security Forces as well as allied and friendly nations worldwide. Since its establishment, Nurol Teknoloji has held “National Confidential” and “NATO Confidential” security clearance certificates issued by the Turkish Ministry of National Defense, alongside ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, AQAP 2110, and AS 9100 quality certifications. Additionally, both of its ballistic test laboratories across two campuses are accredited by TURKAK under the international NIJ standard ISO/IEC 17025.

In 2024, Nurol Teknoloji was proudly accepted into TURQUALITY-the first and only government-backed brand program aimed at establishing and promoting the Turkish brand image globally.

In addition to its Gölbaşı Excellence Center, equipped with advanced machinery for ballistic ceramic production, Nurol Teknoloji has invested in modernizing its Kahramankazan Excellence Center. This new facility features a streamlined production line dedicated to next-generation personal protection and ballistic plate manufacturing, eliminating non-value-added processes. With this addition, the Kahramankazan Center has become a key production hub for composite and steel-ballistic solutions, platform and personal protection systems, and structural armor ballistic solutions.

Since its foundation, Nurol Teknoloji has continuously evolved its production of combat proven products, certified across five continents and more than 65 countries. To date, the company has manufactured over 16 million ceramic tiles, approximately 1 million monolithic ceramic plates, more than 1 million ballistic plates, over 550,000 ballistic vests, and 16,000 ballistic protective shields. It has supplied ballistic armor solutions for over 400 land, air, and naval platforms, protecting more than 8,000 m² of platform surface area. With structural ballistic solutions deployed at over 2,500 security points, Nurol Teknoloji has long contributed to creating safer environments for security personnel.

With a rapidly growing sales volume in 2023, Nurol Teknoloji currently meets approximately 95% of Türkiye’s ballistic protection needs, maintaining a leadership position in the domestic market. The company fulfills projects for the Presidency of Defense Industries , Ministry of National Defense, Turkish General Staff, Gendarmerie, and other security forces, as well as various law enforcement agencies—delivering high-value solutions tailored to their needs. Known for producing the lightest and highest protection products, Nurol Teknoloji continues to set itself apart and earn user preference. In addition to personnel ballistic protection solutions, the company has successfully delivered ballistic protective shields.

Internationally, Nurol Teknoloji has significantly expanded its exports, meeting the needs of allied and friendly countries with high-tech, flexible production capabilities that allow rapid response to demands. Offering products at various protection levels compliant with international ballistic standards, Nurol Teknoloji is becoming a preferred ballistic protection solutions provider for many countries.

Since early 2022, amidst the Ukraine-Russia conflict, Nurol Teknoloji has supplied large quantities of ballistic protective plates and vests to the Ukrainian government and continues to do so. Moreover, the company serves NATO members such as the Italian Army, Polish Police, Dutch Special Forces, German Police, and Belgian Police and Armed Forces, fulfilling their ballistic protection requirements.

While delivering advanced technical ceramics and composite armor solutions, Nurol Teknoloji established its Digital Technologies Directorate in 2023, aiming to innovate protection solutions through digital platforms that add value to defense processes. Attuned to end-user needs, the company integrates new solutions and digital systems to maintain its industry responsibilities and drive project development.

In 2023, its R&D unit launched a Computational Mechanics Infrastructure to simulate ballistic events, progressively enhancing the realism and efficiency of digital modeling. The latest simulation replicates the “Depth of Penetration (DoP)” test, used to measure ammunition penetration capability, achieving 99% accuracy compared to physical test results—marking a significant milestone.

In the U.S. market, Nurol Teknoloji entered in 2022 under the NT Armor and NT Cera brands and operates from its Miami, Florida office. The company has increased its presence by participating in numerous industry conferences and meetings, engaging with key decision-makers, and deepening market penetration among global leaders.

One of Nurol Teknoloji’s strategic milestones was the acquisition of the 30-year-old, well-established German ceramic raw material manufacturer IndustrieKeramik Hochrhein (IKH) in September 2023—a first in the industry. This move not only reinforces its leadership in ballistic ceramics but also advances its position as the world’s largest and best supplier of advanced technical ceramics for the electronics and other critical technology sectors.

Beyond defense products, Nurol Teknoloji has long served the manufacturing and mining sectors with ceramic wear plates and vertical shaft impactor (rotor) crusher components. The company continues to expand its domestic and international market share for these high-wear-resistance ceramic products annually.
