Underwater robotics manufacturer Oceanbotics and its parent company, RJE International, have officially moved their global headquarters to a new 20,000-square-foot facility in Irvine, California, to accommodate ongoing operational growth.
Located at 9805 Research Drive, the upgraded site more than doubles the companies’ production capacity and features an open floor plan designed specifically for rapid scaling and continuous expansion. The transition brings the entire team under one roof in a modernized space, streamlining manufacturing pipelines for marine technology solutions worldwide while boosting collaborative spirit.
The expanded footprint supports both brands across their core subsea offerings. Oceanbotics specializes in advanced underwater robotics and maneuverable, user-friendly remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for complex subsea missions. Meanwhile, parent company RJE International provides mission-critical underwater positioning, navigation, and relocation equipment to military, commercial, and scientific sectors globally.
Situated a 15-minute drive from the Pacific Ocean, the new location optimizes the companies’ ability to conduct live ocean demonstrations and hands-on customer training sessions. The move positions both brands for strong momentum heading into 2027.
Robert Jechart, Founder and CEO, commented, “We love our new facility; the space allows us to keep up with our significant growth and infrastructure. It has also improved our teams’ morale and spirit in the process.”
