In April 2022 Halma acquired Deep Trekker, based in Ontario, Canada, one of the largest underwater robotics manufacturers in the world.
Its submersible robots monitor and maintain critical underwater infrastructure without putting human life at risk. Its robots are also used to examine the health of sea and plant life detecting changes in the underwater environment without having to send a diver into the water or risk contamination to the environment.
The addition of Deep Trekker is highly aligned with Halma’s purpose, both in terms of helping to ensure a cleaner environment, and in improving the safety of underwater inspections. It offers new opportunities for growth in several markets, driven by increasing health, safety and environmental regulation, and global efforts to address climate change, waste and pollution.
“Becoming part of the Halma family has been very exciting. We are known for our innovative solutions and exceptional customer service; becoming a part of an international group of like-minded companies has ensured that we can continue to bring sophisticated systems to our growing markets.”
Sam Macdonald, President, Deep Trekker Inc
