Washington – – September 16, 2026 -- Elveo Mobile and Apex have agreed to establish a dedicated spacecraft factory in the United States to scale production of Elveo's direct-to-device (D2D) satellite constellation, using Apex's Factory X manufacturing model to compress timelines for the company's first satellite production facility.
Apex's Factory X model gives Elveo a vertically integrated production blueprint
Apex, known as The Spacecraft Platform Company, will supply proven spacecraft platforms and high-rate manufacturing expertise to help Elveo stand up and operate its own U.S. facility. Elveo plans to replicate this blueprint with regional partners to expand manufacturing into Europe and Asia, building what the company describes as a global supply chain for its low-Earth orbit (LEO) network.
