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.
