In the global drone market, policies related to economic security and environmental considerations are accelerating. In the U.S., the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) prohibits government procurement of Russian and Chinese drones. In addition, DJI, Chinese drone manufacturer, has been designated by the U.S. Department of Defense as a “China Military Enterprise” from October 2022. In this market environment, ACSL Ltd. (ACSL) believes that it is possible to establish a strong position based on the keywords “economic security”, “enterprise support”, and “application-specific”.
Against this background, ACSL established a U.S. subsidiary, ACSL, Inc. in California in January 2023. Since then, we have entered into distribution agreements with more than 20 companies to handle sales, support, repairs, and service assistance for our products. Through these distributors, we have been expanding sales across the U.S.
ACSL hereby announces that ACSL, Inc., our U.S. subsidiary, has received an order for 400 units of the small aerial photography drone “SOTEN” from Almo Corporation DBA Exertis Almo (Exertis Almo), with whom a distribution agreement has been concluded.
