UAS propulsion units guaranteed Made in Germany
Due to global crises, tenders for safety-relevant applications are increasingly specifying restrictive conditions regarding the origin of components and end products. Good for the company that does not have to worry much about these requirements due to its origin, such as Sky Power GmbH. "More and more frequently, we are asked before a project starts or during the tendering process where we have our drive units manufactured," explains Karsten Schudt, Managing Director of Sky Power GmbH. In particular, the note that engines or power units manufactured in specific countries may not be used in projects is becoming increasingly common.
