In agriculture, timing is everything. If a drone or its software isn’t ready when the field is ready, it’s a liability, not a tool.
For years, American growers and custom applicators have been forced to rely on foreign-built drones. But recently, global supply chain volatility, increased scrutiny of Chinese UAVs, and rising import barriers have created real gaps in product and parts availability. The industry reached a breaking point. Operators were left with fragile overseas supply chains, uncertain regulatory footing, and a massive shortage of dealer-supported options when they needed them most.
We watched this happen, and we knew American agriculture deserved better.
A Legacy of Automotive-Grade Perfection
Exedy Drones didn’t start in a garage; we were born from a legacy of manufacturing excellence. Exedy Globalparts Corporation is a fully owned and operated U.S. company and employer. Backed by 60+ years of Exedy engineering, we looked at the spray drone market and saw an opportunity to bring true reliability to the field.
We knew that to build a drone that “just works,” we couldn’t cut corners. Utilizing our U.S.-based production line located in Southeast Michigan , we applied IATF/ISO 16949 certified, automotive-grade manufacturing standards to our drone assembly. We aren’t chasing the latest tech trend; we are focused on what works. By utilizing time-tested, production-ready flight systems and avoiding unnecessary complexity, we ensure consistent, real-world reliability.
Building a Scalable Domestic Solution
Entering the drone market wasn’t just about building a tough aircraft; it was about fixing a broken ecosystem. Unlike competitors that merely assemble imported parts, Exedy leverages scalable manufacturing infrastructure, domestic fabrication, and a vertically integrated assembly process.
Our drones are built in the USA with locally and globally sourced components, reflecting a deep commitment to American production integrity. This investment in domestic production creates long-term reliability, traceability, and parts access for American ag professionals. It insulates stakeholders from tariff shocks, import delays, and unpredictable overseas logistics.
Built Different. Built for US Operators.
We entered the drone market with a singular passion: to get it right for the American operator. By combining our manufacturing might with the software expertise of American Autonomy, Inc. and the robust dealer network support of Acuspray, we are delivering a platform that restores confidence.
Exedy Drones are Built Different, Built for US Operators. We are here to prove that when you bring world-class engineering and stateside support to the field, American agriculture thrives.
