First U.S. Production Milestone MyDefence recently reached its first U.S. production milestone during a soft opening at the Hamm Institute for American Energy, where the company assembled its first units built in the United States. The collaboration provided space, engineering support and connections to Oklahoma State University, allowing MyDefence to begin U.S. production. “It’s been a big goal of ours to build in the United States,” Ostrowski said. “This is the first time we’re producing our technology here, which is important for supply chain reliability and meeting federal requirements.” The company has begun hiring local technical and engineering talent and expects to continue expanding its Oklahoma City workforce. Looking Ahead While the current operation represents an early phase, MyDefence’s long-term plans are rooted in Oklahoma City. The company aims to establish its U.S.
manufacturing base in the region as it scales production and expands its research and development presence. “Our goal is to make Oklahoma City our manufacturing base as we grow,” Ostrowski said. “That means investing in people, engineering and local infrastructure.” For the Chamber, MyDefence’s expansion reflects a broader strategy to help global companies move from interest to investment by connecting them with the region’s aerospace, defense and technology sectors. As MyDefence continues to build its U.S. footprint, Oklahoma City is positioned to play a central role in the company’s next chapter. “Our goal is to make Oklahoma City our manufacturing base as we grow, That means investing in people , engineering and local infrastructure .” Bill Ostrowski, president and CEO of MyDefence North America
