Drone food delivery company Flytrex is doubling down on Texas with a new drone manufacturing and maintenance facility near Dallas, signaling just how serious the company is about scaling aerial food deliveries across the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area.
The new facility, located in Pilot Point, Texas, will act as the operational backbone for Flytrex’s ambitious expansion plans. The company says it wants to grow to 60 delivery sites across DFW by mid-2027, potentially bringing drone delivery access to around five million residents.
The nearly 8,000-square-foot site is designed to handle everything from drone assembly and maintenance to pre-production test flights. Flytrex says the facility will eventually employ about 50 workers and produce roughly 1,000 drones annually as more delivery hubs come online across North Texas.
That local-first strategy is becoming a major part of Flytrex’s pitch. Instead of building drones elsewhere and shipping them into operating markets, the company plans to assemble, test, and maintain its aircraft in the same region where customers are ordering food.
According to Flytrex CEO and co-founder Amit Regev, Dallas-Fort Worth has become the company’s “proving ground” for large-scale drone delivery operations. “Opening this facility is about more than capacity — it’s about putting down roots,” Regev says. “That’s how we scale responsibly and sustainably.”
