The Idaho-based UAV power supplier becomes the first major drone battery maker to operate full-scale production on two continents.
Titan Batteries has opened its flagship European production facility in Tilburg, the Netherlands. The Pocatello, Idaho-based company announced the launch on May 2, 2026, International Drone Day. The new plant sits on the Energy Conversion Campus on the premises of Bosch.
The move makes Titan the first major battery supplier in the UAV industry to run full-scale production on multiple continents.
Localized Drone Battery Production for Europe
European drone makers have long depended on trans-Atlantic shipments for high-performance lithium-ion packs. The Tilburg site cuts lead times and removes shipping complexity for European partners.
The result is what Titan calls a more responsive, “ITAR-friendly” supply chain. Critical infrastructure, commercial mapping, and defense operators across the continent can now buy local stock.
The Energy Conversion Campus places Titan inside a hub focused on power electronics and energy conversion. That environment supports rapid scale-up of high-density lithium-ion packs while preserving Titan’s quality standards.
“Opening our EU production facility in Tilburg is a monumental step for Titan and our global partners,” said Trent Clawson, Owner of Titan Power. “We are not just opening a warehouse; we are launching a full-scale production center that mirrors our US operations. Our goal is to work more closely with European partners to develop the next generation of flight power, tailored specifically to the unique needs and regulatory landscape of the EU Market.”
“We take immense pride in being the first major battery supplier in the UAV sector to have multi-continental production. This isn’t just about growth; it’s about providing our customers with the security of a localized supply chain and the speed they need to keep their fleets in the air,” said William Jolley, CCO of Titan Power.
Silicon-Anode Packs and Rapid Prototyping
The Tilburg facility focuses on Titan’s signature high-capacity packs. Those include cells built around advanced silicon-anode technology for Tier-1 enterprise clients. Titan claims its packs deliver up to double the energy density of traditional drone battery designs.
The site also serves as a hub for rapid prototyping. European manufacturers can now order custom-designed power solutions in record time, a service previously confined to Titan’s U.S. headquarters. Earlier coverage from Dronelife noted growing momentum behind silicon-anode chemistry for higher-endurance UAVs.
“After eight years of dedication to Titan Power, I am incredibly proud to take this step and launch our European production in Tilburg, The Netherlands,” said Ronald Meeuwissen, Managing Director of Titan Power NL. “Our roadmap for 2026 is ambitious; we are focusing on a rapid scale-up driven by advanced automation and a dedicated in-house engineering team. By fostering close collaborations with local EU partners and prioritizing in-house innovations, we are ensuring that Titan remains the go to standard for UAV endurance across Europe.”
The dual-continent footprint also delivers redundancy. If global logistics disrupt one site, Titan can serve customers from Idaho or the Netherlands.
