Saxon Unmanned Teams Up with IGCS International and Lacks Enterprises

In a significant move to bolster domestic manufacturing, Saxon Unmanned has recently chosen IGCS International alongside its strategic partner, Lacks Enterprises, for the high-volume production of its unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This collaboration aims to produce flagship platforms, including the Monitor VTOL, VIPER, Atlas, and Titan, entirely within the United States.

The partnership capitalizes on IGCS's extensive facilities based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which span over 80,000 square feet. These advanced manufacturing facilities include numerous injection molding plants, capable of operating over 115 machines with a tonnage capacity between 250 and 4,400 tons. With four electroplating lines and three high-volume painting and finishing facilities, IGCS is set to produce more than 60,000 components daily. As a result of this partnership, Saxon Unmanned can expect to see dramatically improved production rates and a reduction in costs while maintaining the highest standards of quality, all due to the 100% American-made production advantage.

"Saxon Unmanned selected IGCS and Lacks because they provide the fastest, highest-volume USA production in the industry," stated John Ferguson, a representative from Saxon Unmanned. This strategic move not only increases production efficiency but also aligns with the objectives of the USA MADE program, which supports American drone dominance. The partnership allows for manufacturing UAVs that are not only robust and enduring but also lighter, stronger, and more affordable than ever before.

Russ Spears, President of IGCS International, noted, "This alliance fulfills the requirements for rapid and reliable domestic manufacturing, reinforcing U.S. supply chain security and ensuring our leading edge in the unmanned aircraft space." The collaboration underlines the commitment of IGCS and Lacks Enterprises to provide high-capacity domestic manufacturing solutions when addressing the current urgent needs for superior unmanned aircraft capabilities.

With interest in the UAV market on the rise, IGCS International and Lacks Enterprises are eager to expand their partnerships. They are actively looking for additional unmanned system manufacturers seeking to enhance their production capabilities through reliable, domestic manufacturing processes. This initiative not only serves Saxon Unmanned but aims to invite other forward-thinking drone manufacturers to scale their production faster and more economically than previously possible.
