Insights
ZenaTech's acquisition of two Florida companies enhances its DaaS footprint in aviation and power washing, supporting its 25-location expansion strategy.
ZenaTech has signed agreements to acquire two Florida-based companies - a power wash services provider and a land surveying firm with 30+ years of industry experience. These strategic acquisitions mark ZenaTech's first entry into the US power washing sector and will strengthen its Drone as a Service (DaaS) presence in the Southeast region.
The power washing acquisition provides a platform to scale drone-enabled cleaning services into new markets, particularly aviation maintenance, facilities, and defense infrastructure. This positions ZenaTech at the intersection of two growing sectors: drone services and aviation maintenance automation. The aviation cleaning market is expanding due to increasing fleet sizes, stricter safety standards, and demand for eco-friendly maintenance technologies.
The land surveying firm acquisition complements ZenaTech's existing capabilities while providing access to an established client base of developers and homebuilders. This represents ZenaTech's continued execution of its acquisition-driven growth strategy, having already completed eight US acquisitions toward its goal of establishing 25 DaaS locations by mid-2026.
The company's approach targets established businesses with existing customers and recurring revenue streams that are primed for technological transformation through drone integration. This reduces customer acquisition costs while creating opportunities to upsell innovative services to an established client base, potentially accelerating the adoption curve for drone-based solutions across multiple industries.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"), a business technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drones, Drone as a Service (DaaS), Enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces it has signed offers to acquire two Florida-based companies expected to expand its US DaaS services footprint into drone-based power washing and new aviation, defense, government, and commercial customers. The acquisitions will unlock significant revenue potential as well as diversification across the Southeast region and nationally.
One proposed acquisition is a Florida-based power wash services company with operations across multiple counties, marking ZenaTech’s first US entry into the power washing sector. This acquisition will provide ZenaTech with a platform to scale drone-enabled power wash services rapidly to new markets, including airplane maintenance, aviation facilities, and defense infrastructure. Power washing in aviation uses high-pressure water and drone-assisted cleaning systems to remove dirt, debris, and contaminants from aircraft exteriors and infrastructure, and cleans and sanitizes interiors. The sector is poised to grow due to increasing fleet sizes, stricter safety and efficiency standards, and the rising adoption of automated, eco-friendly maintenance technologies.
An additional proposed acquisition is a land surveying firm with over 30 years of history serving Florida-based developers and homebuilders. With a long-standing client base and trusted reputation, the Company believes this partnership will enhance its Southeast region DaaS presence and create a strong platform to expand drone services across additional construction and real estate customers, further consolidating the company’s regional footprint.
“When finalized, these acquisitions will provide diversification and future revenue streams for Drone as a Service across our Southeast and national networks,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. “Expanding our reach to aviation and defense is strategic as we believe the future of aviation maintenance is autonomous. By replacing ladders, scaffolding, and chemical-heavy processes with smart cleaning drones, for both interior and exteriors of planes, we hope to help airlines and defense operators set a new standard for safety, sustainability, and efficiency.”
ZenaTech has closed eight US acquisitions toward its goal of establishing 25 Drone as a Service locations across the US by mid-2026. The company’s DaaS model is designed to provide flexible, on-demand access to drone services for surveying, inspections, maintenance, power washing, precision agriculture and more, eliminating the need to have to invest in drone hardware and software, worry about maintenance, regulatory compliance, or finding pilots.
The company’s strategy is aimed at acquiring established land survey engineering firms, and other old-tech or manual service businesses that are ripe for drone innovation, to advance its national vision for a scalable, tech-enabled multiservice drone business anchored by existing customers, recurring revenue, and new growth opportunities.
