Ocean Infinity Acquires MMT
Ocean Infinity and MMT have announced an acquisition that brings together MMT’s deep expertise and established track record as a distinguished marine survey and data analytics provider and Ocean Infinity’s renowned robotic technology and operational expertise.
The combined force will maximize the potential of Ocean Infinity’s fleet of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and the soon to be launched Armada fleet of uncrewed, low-emission robotic ships. The company will be premium placed to support its international clients’ data acquisition requirements, working across multiple sectors including energy, subsea cables, government and defence.
Following the acquisition by Ocean Infinity, MMT will continue to operate under the MMT brand. The enlarged group will have a headcount of over 300 people and will operate from an expanded geographical footprint with offices in the US, Sweden, UK, Singapore and Norway.
Per-Olof Sverlinger, CEO of MMT said: “These are two world-leading companies with highly complementary competencies that are joining to strengthen our unique positions and our continued international expansion and development. This is a highly positive development for all MMT stakeholders. Our clients will continue to receive our trademark, personalized levels of support, but will now also be able to access an expanded range of services. For our team, it opens many exciting opportunities and the chance to be on the cusp of the wave at a time of real change in our industry.”
Forefront Technology for Future Analysis of Sea and Seabed
Ola Oskarsson, founder of MMT commented: “We are a company with unique knowledge and unique employees, with a passion for what we do. As part of Ocean Infinity, we can create new opportunities for our clients and our team and enjoy continued growth. Ocean Infinity has the ambition to be at the absolute forefront of technology when it comes to future analysis of the sea and seabed, which is a perfect combination for our skillset. I am proud of our past and extremely excited about our future.”
Oliver Plunkett, Ocean Infinity’s CEO said: “When we started Ocean Infinity, we revolutionized the industry with the deployment of AUVs on an unprecedented scale and we are set to push the boundaries again with our fleet of uncrewed low-emission robotic vessels. To achieve our ambition of transforming operations at sea through innovation and technology, we need the very best people who share our passion for creating safer and more sustainable ways of working. I’m thrilled that we are being joined by a highly impressive group of new colleagues from MMT who collectively bring with them decades of knowledge and experience and a track record of excellence. With the team from MMT alongside us, I have no doubt that we will exceed all expectations and create the world’s leading ocean and seabed data analytics business.”
