Oceanbotics, RJE International Expand HQ to New SoCal Facility
IRVINE, California — Underwater robotics manufacturer Oceanbotics and its parent company, RJE International, have officially moved their global headquarters to a new, state-of-the-art facility in Irvine, California (9805 Research Drive, Irvine, CA 92618 USA). Located just down the road from their previous site, the upgraded 20,000-square-foot facility more than doubles the company’s production capacity and features an open floor plan designed specifically for rapid scaling and continuous expansion. Oceanbotics Irvine headquarters offers the company increased capacity to grow, and the ability to connect with their customers through dockside trainings and demonstrations.
Oceanbotics new HQ is 15 minutes from the water, making live demos accessible.
A sub-20-minute drive from the Pacific Ocean, the new location optimizes the companies’ ability to conduct live ocean demonstrations and hands-on customer training sessions—a testament to Oceanbotics’ and RJE International’s industry-leading service model. The expanded footprint positions both brands for strong momentum heading into 2027.
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.”
The extra rooms offer room for growth for both marine tech companies. The transition brings the entire team under one roof in a modernized space, boosting collaborative spirit and streamlining manufacturing pipelines for marine technology solutions worldwide.
