Mass-Producing Drones in Japan Is the "Reiwa-Era Industrial Revival"
— The Grit of Aichi's Machine Shops —
Our aircraft don't just work in the sky — their reach extends onto the water, and beneath it. They dive into rivers in the middle of typhoons, places people can't reach, to inspect infrastructure, and scramble to contain wildfires when needed. They deliver essential supplies to people who can't easily go shopping. Contributing to our nation's defense is also a major mission. Prodrone treats dual-use technology, serving both civilian and defense needs,
as a core value — protecting citizens' lives and contributing to civilian life.
At Prodrone, three generations of engineers — led by CTO Sugaki — each hone their own craft and pass it on to the next. That "comfortable chaos," where three generations resonate like a symphony, is the through-line of our company. The technological innovation born from fusing Showa-era craftsmanship with modern intelligence is becoming a "Reiwa-era industrial revival" — and from our drone mass-production factory in Aichi, we're confident Japan will once again take flight onto the world stage.

Prevent. Rescue. Protect.
Made in Japan is back
Become the most trusted drone company in the region.
By basing our workshop here in Aichi and Nagoya and continuing to contribute to the region's progress, our aircraft will reach across Asia — and beyond. "Bringing aircraft only PRODRONE can build to the world."
Protecting the lives of local residents with drones, and taking on social challenges — this is Prodrone's core value.
Always first in — stepping directly into society’s most critical moments.
Don’t stand on the sidelines — step up and lead.
Our work is not an academic exercise. It is directly tied to the life and livelihood of someone on the other side of it. We stand at the front lines of natures challenges — disasters, conflict etc. — we listen to the voices on the ground, our goal is to deliver technology, and make protecting people's lives the starting point of everything we do.
Prodrone Is more than just a Workshop.
The Devil is in the details. We are a collective of craftsmen.
We are not just a factory. We are a "workshop" alive with our CTO team's more than 40 years of experience. We take pride in creating "aircraft only Prodrone can build." Delivering the trust of "Made in Japan" to our customers. Our engineers hold to uncompromising quality and the philosophy that "safety comes before everything."
Trust your team, and move forward together.
Bring individual strengths together and contribute.
Our business can never succeed as a single company alone. Led by initiatives like the Aichi Mobility Innovation Project, open collaboration with partners inside and outside the company is the key to growth. We deal honestly with every stakeholder — customers, partners, shareholders, and the local community — keeping our promises and communicating with transparency. The bonds of trust built this way carry us higher and further.
From Reversal to Leap — Faster Than Anyone.
Don't be satisfied being the same person as yesterday.
We operate in a world defined by constant "reversal" — shifting markets, evolving customer needs, and rapid advances in technology. We absorb all of it, turning "imagination" into "creation." We decide and act faster than anyone. We take on challenges without fear of failure, learn from them, and convert those lessons into fuel for the next stage of growth. Each of us takes ownership, rigorously managing cost and time, and driving the company's leap forward as our own responsibility.
