From Concept to Production: Industrial Manufacturing Solutions for UV and Drone Systems
Global 24/7 Service | 100 Years of Experience | One-Stop Solution
With 100 years of engineering expertise, we support you from the prototype phase through to scalable series production of your drone systems.
Challenges in the UAV and Drone Industry
The industrial manufacturing of drone and UAV* systems faces the challenge of combining rising demand with highly scalable production processes. Companies must quickly and efficiently transition from prototype development to series production (scale-up in UAV** manufacturing)—without compromising on quality, precision, and process stability.
Complex assemblies such as battery systems, sensor technology, and propulsion systems further increase the demands on automation and vertical integration. At the same time, volatile supply chains, rising cost pressures, and regulatory requirements make planning reliability more difficult.
This is exactly where GROB comes in: With end-to-end, scalable production solutions, we enable the reliable industrialization of drone systems—efficiently, flexibly, and future-proof.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About the Production of Drone Systems
What is a drone?
A drone refers to an unmanned vehicle (UV). These can be deployed in various environments:
- UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) – aerial vehicles
- UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) – ground vehicles
- USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) – surface vehicles
- UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicle) – underwater vehicles
Does GROB manufacture drones itself?
No. GROB is a plant manufacturer and does not produce drones.
The company develops and supplies production facilities and manufacturing systems that enable manufacturers to industrially produce drone components and complete UAV systems.
What technologies does GROB use in drone production?
The most important technologies include:
- CNC machining centers
- Actuator and motor manufacturing
- Battery assembly lines
- Automated final assembly
- Winding technologies such as flyer, needle, and linear winding
Can GROB assist with drone product development?
Yes. GROB supports customers in the production-optimized development of electric drives, for example through:
- Concurrent engineering
- Prototyping
- Manufacturing process design
How does GROB support the transition from prototyping to mass production?
Thanks to our modular system concept, customers can start with small production runs and flexibly expand their capacity. GROB supplies scalable complete assembly lines for this purpose, which automate processes such as battery assembly and final assembly.
At which facilities can prototypes be manufactured?
Prototypes and sample parts can be produced at the following facilities, among others:
- Mindelheim (Germany)
- Turin (Italy)
- Bluffton (USA)
What winding technologies does GROB offer for drone actuators?
GROB offers a comprehensive portfolio of winding technologies for the industrial production of electric motors and actuators in drone systems.
These include, in particular:
- Flyer winding – ideal for high winding speeds and efficient series production
- Needle winding – precise winding technology for compact electric motors with high power density
- Linear winding – a flexible solution for various motor and stator geometries
These technologies enable the high-precision manufacturing of stators and electric drive systems used in modern UAV motors and drone actuators.
The systems are designed for automated production lines and scalable series production.
Which GROB technologies are used in drone production?
GROB offers machines and automated production lines for key components of modern drone systems—from propulsion systems to batteries.
Our technologies cover several key areas of drone manufacturing and enable an end-to-end production chain.
Typical applications:
- Assembly systems for drone components
- Manufacturing of stators and rotors for electric motors
- Automated assembly of actuators
- Production lines for Battery assembly
- Solutions for precision mechanical machining
Thanks to our broad portfolio, we can implement complete production processes—from individual components to final assembly—all from a single source.
What manufacturer produces the winding machines at GROB Mindelheim or at GROB Italy?
Thanks to its high level of vertical integration and global production structure, GROB winding machines can be flexibly developed and manufactured at multiple locations.
Depending on project requirements, the development, manufacturing, and delivery of the systems are handled by one of the following plants:
- Mindelheim (Germany)
