Israel-based drone company to partner with Sinclair; relocate to Dayton

DAYTON — A new manufacturing facility is coming to the Miami Valley and that means more jobs will become available.

It’s the Dayton area’s first autonomous drone-stacking station.

Strix Drones, an Israel-based company, announced on Monday that it will be relocating to Dayton. The facility will make drone-docking stations and will allow for smart-charging and work with any drone model.
