Halma adds new capabilities in environmental monitoring with acquisition of Deep Trekker
14 April 2022
Halma, the global group of life-saving technology companies, has acquired Deep Trekker Inc. (Deep Trekker), based in Ontario, Canada.
Deep Trekker is highly aligned to Halma’s purpose of growing a safer, cleaner, healthier future for everyone, every day. Its submersible robots protect and maintain critical infrastructure, including offshore wind farms and aquaculture, and enable ocean science and research. This advanced underwater monitoring technology helps to ensure a cleaner environment while improving the safety of underwater inspections.
Deep Trekker’s growth is underpinned by global efforts to address climate change and pollution, including the fast-growing renewable energy sector and more sustainable fishing practices. It broadens Halma’s market presence in environmental monitoring and adds new capabilities in underwater inspection.
Deep Trekker will be managed as a standalone company and will become part of Halma’s Environmental & Analysis sector.
Andrew Williams, Group Chief Executive of Halma, said:
“Deep Trekker is an exciting addition to Halma, which is highly aligned with our 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 a number of markets, driven by increasing health, safety and environmental regulation, and global efforts to address climate change, waste and pollution.”
