ABZ Innovation expands civilian drone production in Szentendre
Recent context from 17 September: Hungarian manufacturer ABZ Innovation opened an expanded civilian-drone manufacturing facility in Szentendre. Reuters reported a roughly €7 million expansion with planned capacity of about 2,000 aircraft per year on one shift and up to 3,500 on two shifts. ABZ says the site is roughly four times the size of its previous production home.

European drone policy increasingly intersects with local manufacturing capacity, but factory floor space is only one part of supply resilience. Motors, batteries, radios, sensors and semiconductors may still come from international supply chains.
Buyers evaluating supply-chain exposure should ask for component origin, approved alternates, repair stock and lead-time data rather than equating final assembly location with a fully domestic bill of materials.
