Diodon Drone, Participation of Tonner Drones, Accelerates Its Growth
Tonner Drones (’the Company’) is pleased to announce that Diodon Drone, a participation of Tonner Drones, is confirming its growth path. Tonner Drones is also announcing that it is making progress in its investment- and treasury-strategy.
Founded in 2017 in Toulouse, DIODON Drone Technology designs, produces and integrates a range of fully waterproof aerial drones dedicated to reconnaissance, surveillance and inspection missions in maritime, coastal and equatorial environments. Originally created to meet the operational needs of French special forces, DIODON now supports defense, security, rescue and offshore actors across Europe, West Africa and Southeast Asia.
Diodon has informed Tonner Drones that it projects a revenue growth of over 60% by 2025. The company will aim for 100% revenue growth by 2026, driven by the signing of larger contracts and a robust order book. Diodon is expected to reach profitability in 2026, provided these targets are met.
Tonner Drones had previously indicated that it would evaluate its 8.4% stake in the future, with a potential sale being considered. This situation has since evolved. Tonner Drones is currently in a stronger financial position, and Diodon combines robust performance with positive future expectations. As a result, Tonner Drones will now enter into discussions with the company to increase its involvement in the venture.
Collaborating and contributing to the growth of the drone sector could become one of Tonner Drones’ key priorities, now that its restructuring and refinancing efforts have been finalized. Tonner Drones’ financial situation has improved significantly over the past 12 months, allowing it to focus its resources on strategic investments and capitalize on the current positive dynamics and expansion within the drone sector.
Tonner Drones previously announced a strategy under its investment and treasury policy. Recently, Tonner Drones announced its investment in MyHotelMatch (‘MHM’), which is listed on the Euronext Paris main market. Tonner Drones is committed to supporting the company in achieving a successful turnaround. Tonner Drones identifies opportunities for MHM to further develop through future business in Real-estate, the Drone Sector, or Cryptocurrency. Tonner Drones and MHM are currently in discussions and MHM will inform its shareholders once more concrete news becomes available.
Tonner Drones’ policy is focused on generating profitability for its shareholders. Short- and medium-term investments, such as those executed under its treasury policy, must support this overarching objective. A positive financial result was already achieved in H1 2025 as a direct outcome of this strategy. Tonner Drones has made new investments of approximately €2.3 million and €1,1 million in two French industrial companies that seek to accelerate their activities in the drone and defense industries. Tonner Drones will communicate further developments in due course.
“I am pleased that we have embarked on a clear path of growth. I look forward to communicating more about our activities, following a 2025 communication focus that was primarily dedicated to the company’s refinancing and reorganization.” said Diede van den Ouden. “Therefore, I am particularly satisfied with Diodon Drone’s performance, and we will continue to collaborate with the company and provide support where necessary. With rising budgets allocated to Defense and Drones, we anticipate Diodon Drone will perform well.”
