Marine technology manufacturer Oceanbotics and parent organization RJE International have officially opened a new, state-of-the-art global headquarters in Irvine, California, to support rapid scaling across their subsea technology portfolios.

Located at 9805 Research Drive just down the road from their previous site, the upgraded 20,000-square-foot facility more than doubles the companies’ production capacity. Featuring an open floor plan tailored for continuous expansion, the modernized space brings the entire team under one roof to streamline manufacturing pipelines for subsea solutions worldwide.
Oceanbotics specializes in advanced underwater robotics, manufacturing maneuverable and user-friendly remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) designed for complex subsea missions. 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 site optimizes the companies’ ability to conduct live ocean demonstrations and hands-on customer training sessions, reinforcing their service model.
Founder and CEO, Robert Jechart, speaks highly of the move, “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.”
By boosting collaborative spirit and expanding physical footprint, the unified transition positions both brands for strong operational momentum heading into 2027.
