NUBURU Strengthens Balance Sheet, Advances Defense-Tech Acquisition Program and Revamps Blue-Laser Business
Executing Transformation Plan spanning Maddox Defense drones, Tekne special-mission vehicles, and Orbit critical-infrastructure software to build a unified defense-tech platform with expanding NATO traction. Blue-laser technology’ business acquisition on track.
“We are executing precisely where we committed to investors — expanding a vertically integrated defense-tech platform while maintaining capital discipline and reinforcing our operational foundation,” Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of NUBURU. “Our strong cash position, prudent financing approach, and clear governance model ensure that our transformation remains solid and on schedule — including our timely Form 10-Q filing.”
“Tekne, Maddox Defense, and Orbit each contribute unique and highly strategic capabilities which, when integrated under Nuburu Defense, establish a differentiated global Defense & Security platform,” said Dario Barisoni, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Executive Officer of Nuburu Defense LLC. “We are advancing rapidly toward controlling interests that unlock major growth potential across NATO markets and high-value mission-critical environments. The expected further acquisition in the laser sector will unlock further synergies revitalizing our deep expertise in the blue-laser technology.”
Advancing Acquisitions Toward Consolidated Defense-Tech Platform
The Company is delivering rapid progress across its acquisition pipeline, which collectively enables NUBURU to develop a unified dual-business model across both hardware (drones and specialized military vehicles) and software (operational resilience for mission-critical sectors):
- Maddox Defense – Advancing joint venture and acquisition initiatives involving Maddox Defense’s drone portfolio targeting NATO and allied applications.
- Tekne S.p.A. – Progressing toward the strategic transaction as Tekne accelerates NATO-aligned vehicle deliveries; updated Golden Power regulatory work underway.
-
Orbit S.r.l. – Secured acquisition of
100% of the Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) company. Initial10.7% equity stake obtained; working to exceed20% ownership by year-end and enable early control ahead of the stockholders meeting to accelerate SaaS commercialization.
Revamping Blue-Laser technology business line
The Company is advancing with the acquisition of a blue-laser business, which would give NUBURU a fully operational entity including engineers, production and R&D facilities, and a customer base spanning civil and military sectors. This strategic move aims to enable seamless integration with NUBURU’s current expertise and enhance its capabilities in the laser technology market.
Market Positioning and Revenue Outlook
Nuburu Defense anticipates initial billings of approximately
- Electronic warfare systems.
- Military-grade drone capabilities combined with the monitoring of critical infrastructures also in the civil space.
- Special-purpose vehicle integration.
- Critical-infrastructure cybersecurity and resilience.
These complementary verticals strengthen NUBURU’s footprint within NATO and allied environments.
Furthermore, NUBURU and Nuburu Subsidiary Inc., which is focused on Blue-Laser technology, plan to consolidate the financial accounts of the projected acquisition by the end of the year.
Governance and Organizational Enhancements
The Company continues strengthening group functions to support consolidation of new businesses, including:
- Appointment of a financial controller to enhance planning and acquisition accounting.
- Establishment of a revenue office to support subsidiaries and acquisitions.
- Creation of a new internal tech think tank unit.
