en.Wedoany.com Reported - REGENT Craft has completed construction of its Seaglider manufacturing facility in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, USA. Spanning 255,000 square feet, the facility will serve as the company's global production center for composite Seaglider vessels. Co-founder and CEO Billy Thalheimer stated that the factory was built with the same precision, purpose, and commitment to quality and safety as the vessels themselves. The completion of the facility is expected to create hundreds of jobs and support REGENT's commercial order book, which includes over $10 billion in orders across six continents, including orders from leading global airlines and ferry operators. Additionally, the facility will support the company's growing defense business, including a $15 million contract with the U.S. Marine Corps.

The manufacturing facility features dedicated areas for structural assembly, wing and hydrofoil integration, battery and system installation, as well as water testing and acceptance operations, with tooling, metrology, and quality checkpoints embedded throughout the production process. Located within the Quonset Business Park, the facility provides direct water access for sea trials and boasts robust logistics infrastructure, close to Rhode Island's skilled maritime and manufacturing workforce. The site has been officially renamed 1 Seaglider Way in recognition of the facility's importance to the region's future.

The factory layout is designed to support phased capacity expansion as production scales. In the future, REGENT will manage end-to-end production of its 12-passenger Viceroy Seaglider and Squire Seaglider unmanned aerial vehicle from this facility, while anchoring a domestic supply chain built for high-rate manufacturing.
