Thirty new hires and motor operations in Orlando mark next phase of U.S. production expansion

ORLANDO, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / October 31, 2025 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC), a leading provider of high-performance drone components, today announced that its 17,000-square-foot motor manufacturing facility in Orlando, Florida, has commenced operations--marking a key milestone in the company's expansion of U.S.-based production. As part of the ramp-up, Unusual Machines has added approximately 30 new team members, the majority in manufacturing and production roles, to support growing demand across its drone component lines.

The facility is part of Unusual Machines' broader Orlando campus and provides a dedicated environment for high-throughput motor assembly and testing. The site enhances control, speed, and reliability across the company's production network while creating additional capacity for drone assembly within its existing Orlando operations.

"This milestone represents more than new equipment--it represents new jobs," said Andrew Camden, Chief Operating Officer of Unusual Machines. "Building our team here in Orlando means we're growing U.S. manufacturing talent alongside our production capability. We are proud this work isn't just about making motors--it's about creating lasting careers in a growing industry."

The operational launch of the Orlando motor facility continues Unusual Machines' disciplined expansion of domestic manufacturing capacity, strengthening the company's ability to serve consumer, enterprise, and defense customers with U.S.-based production and rapid response capability.

"This facility represents the work of our manufacturing engineers and technicians, who meticulously designed the layout and workflow to empower our assemblers," said Brad Mello, Vice President of Manufacturing at Unusual Machines. "Every process and tool was created to help our team build high-quality motors--consistently, safely, and with pride."

Unusual Machines expects continued hiring as production expands, with additional roles anticipated later this year to support increased motor and drone assembly output. Interested applicants can visit www.unusualmachines.com/careers for current opportunities.
