Counter-drone firm DroneShield (ASX:DRO) has inaugurated its European headquarters in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n
The opening, attended by high-ranking officials including Dutch State Secretary for Defence Derk Boswijk and Australian Ambassador Greg French, marks a pivotal expansion for the firm as it seeks to deepen ties with Continental procurement agencies and frontline end-users.<\/p>\n
The new hub serves as the operational base for DroneShield\u2019s EU Centre of Excellence, aligning the company\u2019s trajectory with the European Union\u2019s ReArm Europe Plan and the Readiness 2030 initiative.<\/p>\n
The frameworks are designed to bolster regional industrial capacity and autonomous defence capabilities.<\/p>\n
Beyond policy alignment, the Amsterdam office is positioned to “accelerate support for Ukraine,” providing critical counter-UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) technology to the conflict zone with greater logistical agility.<\/p>\n
Led by Chief Commercial Officer Louis Gamarra, the European division has grown to approximately a dozen staff members.<\/p>\n
The expansion follows a record-breaking 2025 financial year, where Europe emerged as the company\u2019s primary revenue driver, generating $98 million\u2014representing 45% of its total global sales.<\/p>\n
“This investment in Benelux is a major milestone,” Gamarra noted during the launch, emphasising that a localised headquarters allows for faster, more integrated support for EU partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Counter-drone firm DroneShield (ASX:DRO) has inaugurated its European headquarters in Amsterdam.
