"We have decided to collaborate with the Terra Drone group to strengthen our global sales and support networks. We also look forward to the synergistic effects of using the group's systems to further develop our research and adapt to the most demanding market opportunities," said one of the directors and co-founders of the Ajdovščina-based company Nejc Trošt.

According to the news portal UAS Weekly, Japan's international Terra Drone Corporation considered a number of potential partners across the world and was particularly impressed by the Slovenian drone developer due to its advanced technology, mission flexibility and the overall spectrum of solutions.

"I'm sure Terra Drone's global network will help C-Astral rapidly increase its sales volume," said Terra Drone CEO Toru Tokushige.

Terra Drone Corporation, the world's leading provider of industrial drone solutions, was established in 2016.

The Tokyo-based international company has more than 20 subsidiaries and provides innovative drone technologies for construction, electricity, energy, as well as oil and gas sectors. It specialises in high-performance hardware, cutting-edge software, drone services, and drone traffic management systems.

Trošt pointed out that C-Astral would continue to develop and manufacture drones by itself as well as provide wholesome solutions along with other companies that are part of the Terra Drone network.
