The Albany Gazette - Unusual Machines Accelerates Motor Factory Output at Orlando Campus

The Company is currently producing approximately 15,000 motors per month and has added second and third shifts. Updates to equipment, staffing, and factory layout are expected to increase daily production from approximately 700 to 1,500 parts per day as additional capacity comes online.

Motor design and engineering are led by Vice President of Motors Andrew Simpson, who joined the Company through the acquisition of Rotor Lab and recently relocated to the United States. The Company has leveraged that foundational expertise to accelerate its transition to scaled manufacturing.

Manufacturing operations are led by Vice President of Manufacturing Brad Mello, who led the establishment of the Orlando facility from the ground up and is driving current scaling efforts.

"We're running motor production 24 hours a day, five days a week, and I'm proud of how the team has expanded and refined the operation in the five months since launch," said Andrew Camden, President and Chief Operating Officer. "We continue to push production higher by adding equipment and building out the team. Rotor Lab brought deep product experience, and we've paired that with our manufacturing capability to scale more quickly."

The Company is expanding staffing across all three shifts, with motor factory personnel expected to roughly double in May as production ramps, and expects to install a high-volume automated motor production line in the second half of 2026 to further expand output.
