Aggity Acquires 40% Stake in Cargo Drone Solutions

✦ Meridian Analysis

Aggity has closed the purchase of a 40 % equity stake in Cargo Drone Solutions, cementing its position as the reference shareholder of the Spanish drone‑builder. The deal, announced as part of Aggity’s broader plan to assemble a civil‑and‑military drone consortium, follows the July acquisition of vertical‑take‑off drone operator Bluenest from Globalvia and precedes a pending transaction for the Canary Islands‑based technology firm XRF. Aggity, a Catalan technology group led by Oscar Pierre, is acting as a strategic buyer, seeking to combine Cargo Drone Solutions’ SAILIII certification – one of the few in Europe that permits beyond‑visual‑line‑of‑sight flights over populated areas – with its own software and the capabilities of Bluenest and XRF. Aggity’s move, together with a €14.4 million contract from the Ministry of Defence for an autonomous response system, involves drones capable of carrying up to 1.5 tonnes. What remains undisclosed are the purchase price and the financing structure that underpinned the stake sale. Details on advisers, any debt component, and the timeline for the XRF investment have not been provided. Professionals will watch for the eventual equity percentage in XRF, and the rollout of series‑production partners for the 1 500‑kg drones, all of which will shape the consortium’s ability to scale.
