Sonardyne International Ltd. has acquired 2G Robotics Inc., which specializes in underwater imaging and inspection.

Joining Sonardyne’s group of companies, 2G Robotics will remain an independent business and brand, and continue to serve its customer base in unmanned and autonomous underwater vehicles, as well as remotely operated vehicles.

“2G Robotics has a dedicated research team and well developed product and service lines, with scope for growth,” says John Ramsden, Sonardyne’s managing director.

“As an independent company, their offering is complementary to the growing range of products and services our wider group of companies provides to the marine sector.”

Founded in 2007, 2G Robotics is based in Ontario, Canada, where it will continue to operate. Jason Gillham, the founder of 2G Robotics, will maintain his role as the company’s CEO.

“Sonardyne is a great fit for us, with their existing global reach,” Gillham says. “We look forward to growing with their support and working with our new partners.”
