Industry research cited by the company projects a global counter‑UAS market > $20 billion by 2030.
NUBURU (NYSE American: BURU) activated Phase I execution of its joint venture with Maddox Defense, moving from planning into operational deployment in Houston, Texas. On-site teams are executing system integration, procurement coordination, and manufacturing readiness using a climate-controlled mobile additive manufacturing container platform.
The program leverages Maddox Defense’s Houston facility (~90,000 sq ft manufacturing, 12,000 sq ft offices, 2,000 kW power) to establish a U.S. defense manufacturing footprint aimed at counter-UAS and tactical unmanned systems demands.
NUBURU (NYSE:BURU) signed a binding agreement to acquire a controlling 70% stake in Italian defense engineering firm Tekne, based on a reference valuation of €52 million. The deal uses converted shareholder financing (€16.692M), a planned €13M capital increase and a €6M share purchase.
The transaction is subject to Italy Golden Power authorization expected to be filed in April 2026. Tekne is targeting ~€50M revenue in 2026 and >€100M in 2027, and NUBURU expects to consolidate Tekne into its Defense & Security platform upon closing.
