As someone in the motor fabrication business, stamping and adhering the stators are something that is really hard to do price-competitively compared to China and India.
Winding machines are also insanely expensive for people trying to break into the industry to become more independent, and they are mostly chinese-made nowadays too. Older-secondhand Italian equipment exists, but I don’t know about new stuff, also probably much more expensive
The thing is, in a situation where you really need them, it’s better that they’re not competitive than to have restricted access.
I hope we’re getting more resilient overall, not only in drone motors. Globalization, if you’re a fan or not, doesn’t really work if your partners aren’t trustworthy.
