HANZA Wins Drone Order Under the LYNX Program
October 15, 2025 | HANZAEstimated reading time: 1 minute
HANZA has received an initial order worth approximately SEK 40 million from a high-tech company that develops and sells drones for both civilian and defense-related applications. The order marks the beginning of a new collaboration, with a long-term target volume estimated at SEK 300 million per year. Manufacturing will take place in Sweden.
The order is a result of HANZA’s LYNX program, launched in March 2025 to offer tailored and expanded manufacturing capacity to the defense industry. LYNX has received strong market interest, and the collaboration with this customer represents an important milestone in the initiative.
“Our offering of complete and regional manufacturing clusters, which also forms the basis of the LYNX program, is well-suited for complex security products such as drone systems. We are very proud to have been selected as the manufacturing partner in this strategically important sector,” says Veronica Svensson, Head of Sales at HANZA Group.
Production will soon begin in HANZA’s Swedish manufacturing cluster, enabling close collaboration and short lead times.
“We have the capacity to be the industrialization partner needed in this case, through rapid scaling and automated flows,” continues Veronica Svensson.
To establish a capacity platform for continued growth in defense and security, while also meeting increasing demand in other industries, HANZA acquired the Finnish company Milectria in July. Milectria specializes in manufacturing for the defense sector, and the acquisition creates a dedicated capacity platform that further strengthens HANZA’s offering.

Nolan’s Notes: Is Mexico the Pulse of Electronics in the Americas?
11/04/2025 | Nolan Johnson -- Column: Nolan's NotesLast year, I attended SMTA Guadalajara, where I saw the results of the Mexican investment in electronics manufacturing. The U.S. was still operating under the Biden administration, and while Mexican EMS companies had expanded capacity to support EV manufacturing, the demand dropped significantly. In my conversations at the show, the sentiment was one of patience. They knew the EV business would likely come back. However, they didn’t expect an overhaul of U.S. trade agreements and tariffs that would shift a more diversified portfolio in Mexico’s direction.
