ZenaTech announced its 21st acquisition with the purchase of Andy Paris & Associates, a Lake Oswego, Oregon-based surveying company, to expand its Drone as a Service network and strengthen its footprint in the Pacific Northwest.
The acquisition enhances ZenaTech’s presence in the Portland area and supports its strategy of building a scalable, AI-driven drone services platform for business and government customers. By combining Andy Paris & Associates’ long-standing customer relationships and regional expertise, ZenaTech will speed up the rollout of drone-enabled inspection, survey, and monitoring services in Oregon and Washington.
Founded in 1952, Andy Paris & Associates provides boundary, topographic, and construction staking surveys for commercial and infrastructure projects. Adding the firm complements ZenaTech’s existing Drone as a Service operations in the region and provides a unified base for further expansion in sectors such as forestry, environmental monitoring, energy infrastructure, and logistics.
ZenaTech’s Drone as a Service model offers subscription- and usage-based access to drone-powered solutions, enabling clients to leverage advanced aerial data collection and analytics without the capital investment required for drone ownership. The platform integrates the company’s proprietary ZenaDrone systems with AI-driven automation to improve efficiency, safety, and data-driven decision-making across industries.
The company’s broader strategy focuses on acquiring established service providers with existing customer bases and upgrading their operations through drone technology, transforming traditional workflows into scalable, data-centric solutions. ZenaTech currently operates 24 international Drone as a Service locations and continues to expand its global network through acquisitions.
KEY QUOTES
“Strengthening the Pacific Northwest operations puts us right at the intersection of forestry and environmental monitoring, critical energy infrastructure, and ports and logistics surveillance, which is exactly where Drone as a Service delivers the most value for mission-critical operations. DaaS goes beyond flying drones by providing an AI-driven autonomy platform that turns aerial operations into continuous, actionable intelligence while automating manual, labor-intensive tasks. We’re delivering efficiency in the field, and high-value data and insights that help business and government make faster, smarter decisions at scale.”
