With the investment of a double-digit million amount in Quantum-Systems GmbH, Porsche Automobil Holding SE is adding a fast-growing technology company from Germany to its portfolio.
Based in Gilching near Munich, the company develops and produces state-of-the-art drones for sensor-based data capturing as well as surveillance and reconnaissance purposes. The use cases include, for example, aerial monitoring of infrastructure, use in disaster response and other areas requiring the capturing, evaluation and further processing of sensor data from the air. The investment in Quantum Systems is carried out in the context of the partnership between Porsche SE and the investment company DTCP.
“Drone technology has developed rapidly in recent years. The market potential of this technology is extremely high. With its cutting-edge platform, Quantum Systems will participate disproportionally in the growth of this sector”, says Lutz Meschke, member of the board of management responsible for investment management at Porsche SE. “In the coming years, the market for compact drones is expected to grow by around 20 percent annually.”
“We are delighted to have found a German investor in Porsche SE, who will accompany us in the further expansion and internationalization of Quantum Systems. What both companies share is the dedication to technology and perfection. I am very pleased to have another partner and investor who will tackle these challenges together with us”,
says Florian Seibel, CEO and co-founder of Quantum Systems.
The compact drones from Quantum Systems can take off and land vertically and can be equipped with a variety of sensors. In addition, the drones are characterized by their flexible and mobile usability, ease of use as well as powerful flight control software and integrated AI capabilities.
Quantum-Systems GmbH employs around 350 people, has locations in four countries, supplies over 450 customers worldwide and managed to more than double its revenue again in 2023 with a projected revenue for the fiscal year 2024 of over 100 million euro.
