Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE: UMAC) has leased a 17,000-square-foot facility in Orlando, Florida, to begin production of high-performance drone motors starting September 2025.
The new plant will manufacture brushless motors in sizes 2207, 2807, and 3220, intended for commercial drones and first-person view (FPV) applications. The facility is expected to scale up to produce over 50,000 motors per month, significantly boosting Unusual Machines’ domestic manufacturing capacity.
This expansion aligns with the company’s strategic goal to onshore drone component production amid rising demand and evolving regulatory requirements. Being located near Rotor Riot’s headquarters and technical team enables faster feedback and improved alignment with end users.
Brad Mello, Vice President of Manufacturing, highlighted the use of digital traceability, automated quality control, and lean manufacturing processes at the Orlando plant.
CEO Allan Evans confirmed that the company is already operational and has placed equipment orders. To mitigate supply chain risks, a dual-sourcing approach will be employed for key components such as magnets, bearings, and stators.
The global drone accessories market, currently valued at $17.5 billion, is projected to grow to $115 billion by 2032, underlining the significant growth potential for Unusual Machines’ new facility.
