ASC Global Inc., a subsidiary of Token Communities, has reached an agreement with Taiwanese drone manufacturer UAVER to set up an assembly facility at the Asia Pacific Opportunity Zone (APOZ) in Texas.
According to ASC Global President and CEO David Champ, the APOZ project has been actively promoted across the Asia-Pacific region in recent months, drawing interest from multiple countries, including Taiwan. The initiative aims to attract technology and manufacturing partnerships to Texas from the wider Asia-Pacific market.
UAVER, formally Carbon-Based Technology Inc., founded in 2007 in Taichung, Taiwan, is regarded as one of the country’s leading aerospace composite manufacturers. The company specializes in using carbon-fiber composite materials to produce fixed-wing UAS for commercial and industrial applications.
Its five primary models, Swallow, Accipiter, Besra, Avian RTK and Catapult, are designed for missions including aerial mapping, agricultural surveying, forest monitoring and disaster response, with capabilities for infrared and radiation detection.
UAVER holds ISO 9001 and ISO 9100 aerospace quality certifications, as well as NDAA compliance. The company is also expanding into precision image analysis software and complete UAS solutions, which it says will improve post-disaster surveying and environmental monitoring.
APOZ project co-founder and ASC Global COO Dr. Eric Fang described UAVER as a pioneer in Taiwan’s UAV industry with “a strong reputation for innovation and precision engineering.” He added that the new Texas plant will assemble UAVER aircraft for customers in North America and other markets.
The companies did not disclose the size of the investment, the expected production capacity, or when the Texas facility will become operational.
