LACONIA, NH / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / Global manufacturer of propulsion andintelligent controls for multi-domain uncrewed systems, ePropelled, Inc. has significantly expanded its operations to become the first U.S.-based drone component solutions manufacturer with a supply chain that meets Department of Defense compliance standards. The soon to be 24,000 square foot facility in Laconia, New Hampshire, will annually produce hundreds of thousands of uncrewed motors and controllers for air, land and sea use as early as 2026. Meanwhile, in parallel, ePropelled is planning to open an additional manufacturing facility overseas to supply international customers.
"We began production late last year and have been scaling up ever since," said Nick Grewal, ePropelled Founder, Chairman and CEO. "This expansion of our U.S. production hub will shorten the turnaround time from order to shipment and get them into the hands of our customers faster. This expansion, coupled with a new domestic rare earth supplier and NDAA compliance, sets us apart and is attractive for many of our customers."
The Laconia facility will grow to more than 350 employees who will use state-of-the-art equipment to produce a range of advanced electric propulsion motor and controller solutions for drones from start to finish. This includes winding the coils, sealing/curing, rare-earth magnet rotator assemblies, precision balancing, motor and controller assembly, software installation and quality control for the Sparrow, Falcon and Hercules Series. The Sparrow Series solution range from 160Kv-2900Kv and 260W to 7000W, designed for lightweight UAVs. The Falcon Series includes high-power UAV motors like the iAPM600, producing up to 10kW at 5,000RPM. The Hercules Series features starter-generator systems, such as the SG12000, providing up to 14 kW at 9,000 RPM for hybrid UAV applications. In 2026, ePropelled will be vertically integrated with in-house lamination stack production and a machine shop.
"The opening of our new manufacturing facility marks an exciting milestone for ePropelled as we expand our ability to serve customers in the U.S. and worldwide," said Richard Edwards, ePropelled Director of Operations. "This U.S.-based state-of-the-art site is equipped with advanced production capabilities and rigorous quality-control systems, all certified to ISO 9001:2015 standards. By combining the very latest technology with our commitment to excellence, we ensure every product meets the highest levels of performance and reliability."
