Volatus Aerospace marks official opening of Mirabel facility as Canadian manufacturing operations scale

Volatus Aerospace Inc., a global aerospace and defence company, today marked the official opening of its 53,000-square-foot manufacturing and systems integration facility in Mirabel, Québec, representing a significant expansion of the Company's Canadian production capacity and its ability to scale advanced uncrewed and autonomous systems.

Operational since earlier this year, the Mirabel facility is already supporting Volatus' expanding manufacturing activities. Production of drone docking stations is underway, with the site also supporting the integration and production of Volatus' V-Series aircraft and other advanced autonomous systems.

Located within the aerospace cluster surrounding Montréal-Mirabel International Airport, the facility brings manufacturing, systems integration and technology advancement together in a Canadian production environment. The investment is designed to position Volatus to respond to growing requirements across defence, public safety, industrial and commercial markets in Canada and allied countries.

"Mirabel is an important part of the next stage of Volatus' growth," said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus. "As demand for autonomous systems grows, our ability to manufacture, integrate and deliver at scale becomes increasingly important. This facility gives us the infrastructure to expand production, accelerate the commercialization of Canadian technologies and serve customers in Canada and allied markets."

The official opening brought together government, industry, investment and community leaders and included remarks, a ribbon-cutting ceremony and a tour of the facility.

Joining Lynch for the ceremony were MP Carlos Leitão, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Industry; MP Madeleine Chenette, Isabelle Hudon, President and Chief Executive Officer of BDC; Roxanne Therrien, Mayor of Mirabel; and Yves Beauchamp, President and Chief Executive Officer of Aéroports de Montréal, along with representatives from Canada's aerospace, defence, investment and business communities.

"Building sovereign capability requires more than developing great technology," added Lynch. "It requires the ability to manufacture, integrate, test and support that technology here in Canada. Mirabel strengthens that capability and provides a platform from which we can continue to scale production and pursue opportunities across Canada, NATO and allied markets."

The grand opening represents another milestone in Volatus' strategy to translate its technology portfolio, operational expertise and growing manufacturing capabilities into scalable solutions for customers in Canada and internationally.
