A Tennessee-based unmanned aviation company is opening at Blackwell Field in Ozark.
With a formal contract signing by Thirium Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Jon Malnero and Ozark Mayor Mark Blankenship the UAS operations company became the newest manufacturing business to open in the Dale County seat.
Thirium Inc. is a Tennessee Corporation dedicated to empowering the future of unmanned aviation through cutting-edge design, exceptional functionality, and a commitment to continuous development, said Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Austin Lawson.
“Jon and I actually met in Syria conducting operations supporting US Special Operations,” Lawson said. “We worked on projects like this for about half a decade. We eventually reached the top of our fields and realized we had more to offer the UAS industry. This is when Thirium was born. The Ozark business expectation is to employ up to 15 people within the first year. “At 30 months we’re hoping to be at 25 employees,” Lawson said.
