Quantum Systems and Frontline Robotics launch first joint co-production of Ukrainian drones in Europe under new Government initiative
| For the first time, Ukrainian drones will be manufactured on an industrial scale in Europe, within the new “Build with Ukraine” Initiative, by the new German-Ukrainian defence joint venture, “Quantum Frontline Industries”. Munich, Germany | Kyiv, Ukraine Quantum Systems and Frontline Robotics today announced the creation of “Quantum Frontline Industries” (QFI), a German-Ukrainian joint venture that will establish Europe’s first fully automated, industrial-scale foreign production line for drones for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Under the Build with Ukraine initiative, the new venture will mass-produce battlefield-provenmulti-use drones developed by the Ukrainian company Frontline Robotics. 100% of systems produced in Germany will be delivered to the Defence Forces of Ukraine in volumes defined by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence. The production line will combine Ukrainian battlefield-proven technology with German industrial automation, creating a new model of cross-border defence co-production: the German Model. It will also open employment opportunities in Germany for Ukrainians. Quantum Systems will provide industrial infrastructure and production operations, while Frontline Robotics contributes licensed designs, training, and full lifecycle support in line with NATO standards. “Ukrainians have revolutionized the drone war, now we will revolutionize the industrial war together. For Quantum Systems, this is the logical next step of our proven track record in support of Ukraine. Together with Frontline Robotics, we will build on our proven experience and create Europe’s first foreign production capacity at this scale for Ukraine.” said Sven Kruck, Co-CEO of Quantum Systems “We see this as an important mission – to build the first Ukrainian-German defence joint venture with our partners Quantum Systems. We are confident that our example will pave the way for future collaborations of this kind. This cooperation will supply the Defenсe Forces of Ukraine with thousands of drones to drive back the Russian aggressor.” said Yevhen Tretiak, CEO of Frontline Robotics. |
| Matthias Lehna, Managing Director of the new Joint Venture, stated: “QFI has three goals: Scale, Expand, and Create. Our new Joint Venture will bring together German engineering excellence with Ukrainian sense of urgency to mass produce urgently needed drones for Ukraine, expand its portfolio, and create new products for end users to push the boundaries of what is possible.” Matthias Lehna will serve as the Managing Director of Quantum Frontline Industries. The 37-year-old served as an infantry officer in the German Armed Forces before joining the Cyber innovation Hub in Berlin and later Quantum Systems, as Director Governmental Relations and Business Development in 2023. |
| “Our drones are essential and in high demand on the frontline in Ukraine, which is why we need to scale up serial production. In wartime, finding safe locations for manufacturing inside Ukraine is difficult. Partnering with Quantum Systems allows us to expand our production capacity and strengthen the Defense Forces even further. We are truly glad to have such a partner by our side,” said Mykyta Rozhkov, Chief BD Officer of Frontline Robotics. The launch of QFI builds on the two companies’ strategic partnership signed earlier this year and marks a major step toward a new European drone industrial base driven by Ukrainian frontline innovation and German engineering. Details on the location of QFI will not be publicized due to security precautions. |
