Drones will be flying out of a new Timaru factory starting from next month. Aeronavics, a Hamilton industrial aerial robotics company whose clients include the US Navy, is relocating its manufacturing operation from Hamilton to 26 Kennels Rd, Washdyke. “We’ve run out of space and need more room to expand,” company co-founder Rob Brouwer said. “There could also be a few more staff,” Brouwer said. The company also manufactured a long-range heat detection drone designed to protect rhinoceroses from poachers across Africa.
