AMERICAN STATOR / RICHMOND, VA

The American
stator stack.

US-cut, bonded silicon-steel stator stacks — 32 to 100 mm — and the machinery that winds them. Built in Virginia.

Why we exist

The U.S. brushless motor supply chain runs through Suzhou, Milan, and Munich.

Every drone, every humanoid, every defense actuator on the Blue UAS list relies on stator stacks and the winding lines that fill them — almost none of it American. Vacuz dominates components and winding lines from China; Marsilli, Bosch, and GROB-WERKE compete on automated assembly from Europe. American Stator is building the alternative.

Products

Two product lines. Both under active build.

Brushless motors are not optional components. The dependency is, today, unavoidable. The dependency is, tomorrow, our product roadmap.
For

U.S. drone OEMs, robotics actuator companies, and defense primes.

If you build motion in America, your supply chain is our product roadmap.

01 — DRONE
Group 1–3 UAS
Blue UAS list operators sourcing onshore propulsion components and replacing 20-week China lead times.
02 — ROBOTICS
Humanoid + actuator
Quasi-direct-drive actuator builders onshoring stator stacks and outrunner shells in their bills of materials.
03 — DEFENSE
Programs of record
Loitering-munition, ground-actuator, and propulsion-system programs working a domestic-supply mandate.

Founder

Built by an operator who has scaled deep tech before.

Mason Hensley — former VP Engineering and CTO at Caris Life Sciences (Nasdaq: CAI). Contributed to the S-1 ahead of IPO and to the FDA submission for MI CancerSeq (since approved). Now onshoring the parts you used to import.
