“Easy Aerial continues to expand its operations through collaborations with strategic partners. We are delighted to have signed an agreement with Kitron, which has a leading position in electronic manufacturing services, has the capacity to produce large volumes, and offers advanced front-end services,” says Ivan Stamatovski, CTO of Easy Aerial.
