Canadian robotics company Deep Trekker is thrilled to be celebrating their tenth anniversary in 2020. Based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, Deep Trekker provides users with remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), pipe crawlers and utility crawlers for a variety of uses.
Over the last decade Deep Trekker has grown from a garage start up with a single ROV to a global company with numerous product lines and vehicles. As Deep Trekker enters their 10th year, they are taking a look back at the last decade of growth and development.
Deep Trekker was born out of a late-night boating incident on Lake Huron. After accidentally dropping a flashlight from her boat, future Deep Trekker President Sam Macdonald remarked that she could really use an underwater robot to go get the lost flashlight. What began as a light-hearted comment eventually led to the start of the innovative submersible robotics company Deep Trekker.
Having grown up around the Great Lakes of Ontario, Canada, Macdonald has always been fascinated by the region’s underwater mysteries. An avid diver and shipwreck explorer, Macdonald has long been dedicated to exploring submerged worlds. Combining Macdonald’s marketing and business leadership experience with the expertise of engineering partner Jeff Lotz, Deep Trekker was launched to explore market opportunities in the world of underwater remotely operated vehicles.
The original idea was to create an exciting and accessible underwater vehicle for boaters, divers and treasure hunters who would use the robot for underwater exploration. A phone call from an aquaculture buyer in Norway opened up new doors for Macdonald and the Deep Trekker team.
