Overview
- The Ministry of Defence hosted the signing creating a Spanish company that will build loitering munitions in Villadangos del Páramo (León) and micromotors in Valladolid for domestic and European programs.
- Indra and EDGE cite an estimated multi‑year backlog of about €2 billion, with the León site planned as a €20 million facility targeting up to 200 jobs once fully ramped.
- Indra says operations are planned to scale through 2026–2027, while Valladolid will house a new micromotor plant alongside an engineering hub to support UAV systems.
- Separately, Indra launched a €40 million expansion in Castilla y León and projects increasing its regional workforce to roughly 1,350 by 2027, expanding capabilities in C2I, cyber, UAS and related areas.
- Indra is proceeding with its Asturias growth plan tied to the €7.24 billion artillery program—posting initial jobs and targeting 850 workers by 2027—as the Supreme Court processes a GDELS‑Santa Bárbara appeal over preassigned state credit without halting the contract.
