ROV team poised for growth
Deep Trekker, the Canadian manufacturer of underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and submersible pipe crawlers, is expanding its new head office in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario.
The move supports the company’s growth strategy following the introduction of the DT340 Pipe Crawler, a tool used to inspect sewer, storm, and potable water infrastructure.
“For us, staying within Waterloo region made perfect sense,” explains Sam MacDonald, President of Deep Trekker. “The region is rich with diverse talent from well-known prestigious colleges and universities, as well as tech companies. With this new office, we have the opportunity to further expand our team and engineering capabilities; also, increasing our ability to service current and future projects.”
Incorporated in late 2010, Deep Trekker sold its first ROV to a fish farm in Norway. Since then thousands of Deep Trekker ROVs have been delivered to aquaculture companies, search and rescue teams, police squads, navy fleets, hydro dam operators, and commercial divers around the world.
Deep Trekker was founded with a mission to create portable, affordable, and easy to use underwater inspection tools. Its ROVs are currently being used around the world in industries such as aquaculture, commercial diving, municipalities, police search and rescue, military, and research.
