Purpose-built for American drone and defense-hardware production.
ProForge is the defense-production arm of Productiv — twenty years of US assembly, kitting, and fulfillment operations, focused into a single mission: building the drones and defense hardware America's programs need, at the scale they need them.
The drone industrial base has a production gap.
American drone and defense-hardware programs are scaling faster than American production capacity. OEMs have the designs and the demand — what they don't have is a partner who can assemble at volume, document every unit, and hit hard delivery windows without the overhead and lead times of a traditional contract manufacturer.
ProForge closes that gap. We operate procurement, precision electro-mechanical assembly, lot-controlled supply chains, logistics, and sustainment from NDAA-compliant facilities in Charlotte, North Carolina and Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas.
Behind it is Productiv: two decades of production and supply-chain risk management for the world's largest commercial brands. Today those managed lines build complex electro-mechanical products for established OEMs — from serialized marine-stabilization units to FPV drones. The process discipline is proven; ProForge applies it to the defense mission.
It is, in the end, a national-security argument: what a country can build, it can defend. Domestic production capacity is the prerequisite — and that is what ProForge exists to provide.

A former operator in US Army Special Operations Command. Doug leads ProForge's operations the way he led in uniform: documented process, hard accountability, and delivery windows treated as non-negotiable. Military-grade discipline isn't a marketing claim here — it's the operating system.
Paul Baker
Co-owner of Productiv and the architect of its operating economics. Paul built the unit-rate commercial model ProForge runs on — a fixed price per assembled, tested unit — and leads the systems that keep production measurable, traceable, and improving program over program.
Productiv has operated US assembly, kitting, and fulfillment programs for over twenty years. ProForge runs on that infrastructure — the facilities, the workforce model, and the quality systems — dedicated to the drone and defense industrial base.
US facilities. US workforce. US chain of custody.
