ZenaTech acquires Florida-based A&J Land Surveyor for DaaS expansion

VANCOUVER - ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZENA) announced Tuesday it has completed the acquisition of Jacksonville-based A&J Land Surveyor, Inc., marking its tenth acquisition in the Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS) sector.

Founded in 1995, A&J Land Surveyor specializes in complex surveying projects across aviation, utility, and infrastructure markets in Florida, with expertise in runway surveys, hangar projects, and utility development.

The acquisition gives ZenaTech access to established customer relationships in Florida’s aviation, utility, and infrastructure sectors, including marine surveys. The company cited Florida as a strategic growth market due to its year-round flying conditions, aviation industry presence, and diverse terrain.

"By combining the A&J team’s years of survey expertise with our AI-driven DaaS platform we have an ideal, innovative combination of building capacity and speed for accelerating drone use in airport, utility, and infrastructure surveying," said Shaun Passley, ZenaTech CEO, according to the press release.

The transaction also provides opportunities for ZenaTech to expand into coastal and marine markets through hydrographic and bathymetric surveys aligned with Florida’s port and shoreline development.

This acquisition brings ZenaTech closer to its stated goal of acquiring and establishing 25 Drone-as-a-Service locations by mid-2026. The company’s DaaS business model offers customers pay-per-use or subscription access to drone-based services for surveying, inspections, and process automation.

ZenaTech, which trades on Nasdaq, Frankfurt Stock Exchange, and Mexican Stock Exchange, specializes in AI drones, Drone-as-a-Service, enterprise SaaS, and quantum computing solutions.

In other recent news, ZenaTech, Inc. has been active with multiple acquisition offers aimed at expanding its operations and strategic footprint. The company announced its intent to acquire a land surveying and mapping firm in Washington, which will bolster its Drone as a Service (DaaS) business in the Northwest region of the United States. Additionally, ZenaTech signed an offer to acquire a Southeast US-based defense logistics company, which specializes in inventory management services for the US Department of Defense. This acquisition aims to enhance ZenaTech’s capabilities in defense logistics, an area supported by multi-year government contracts.

ZenaTech is also making strides internationally with a proposed acquisition of a UK-based telecom tower design firm, marking its first expansion into the United Kingdom. This move is expected to extend ZenaTech’s reach in the telecommunications sector. Within the United States, the company targets two Florida-based firms, one in the drone-based power washing sector and another in land surveying, to further its service expansion. In another strategic development, ZenaTech launched a Quantum Computing Division focused on defense applications, including quantum-resistant communications and post-quantum cybersecurity. This initiative addresses key priorities for the U.S. Department of Defense and other federal agencies.
