Following the acquisitions of Beam in 2025 and K.U.M. Umwelt- und Meerestechnik Kiel GmbH in 2026, Zupt adds complementary capabilities in subsea metrology, positioning, machine-vision-based inspection, offshore installation monitoring, and systems engineering. Together, these capabilities enable Rosenxt to provide customers with integrated, end-to-end solutions across the complete lifecycle of offshore and subsea assets—from front-end engineering design (FEED) and installation to commissioning, long-term operation, inspection and integrity assessment, including monitoring, abandonment, and decommissioning.
“Our ambition has always been to think decades ahead,” said Hermann Rosen, Chairman of the Board at Rosenxt. “The future of subsea and offshore industries will be shaped by intelligent technologies that fundamentally change how critical infrastructure is explored, installed, inspected, and operated. Zupt is another important building block in this vision. By bringing together complementary technologies and engineering expertise, we want to help redefine how operations are performed in some of the most demanding environments while increasing efficiency and creating lasting value for our customers.”
Offshore operators and installation contractors are under increasing pressure to execute subsea projects more efficiently, while facing workforce constraints, weather dependencies, increasingly stringent safety requirements, and rising capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX). Rosenxt develops Advanced Technological Services (ATS) that integrate cutting-edge sensing, autonomous robotics, physical AI, intelligent data analytics, and engineering expertise. These technologies are designed to support informed decision-making and help customers optimize critical infrastructure operating in harsh and complex environments.
Zupt complements these capabilities with advanced subsea metrology, inspection, and engineering technologies that improve the accuracy and efficiency of subsea operations. Its expertise includes positioning, high-resolution 3D inspection, digital twin generation, and installation monitoring.
“This acquisition supports our strategy of providing customers with integrated Advanced Technological Service solutions that combine robotics, sensing, engineering expertise, and intelligent data provisions,” said Chris Yoxall, CEO Realization at Rosenxt. “Customers increasingly need connected solutions rather than individual technologies. Zupt brings proprietary technologies, strong engineering capabilities, and extensive operational experience in subsea energy and renewables applications. Combined with Rosenxt’s existing robotics, sensing, and integrity capabilities, we can provide more integrated solutions that help customers execute projects more efficiently and make better-informed decisions throughout their asset lifecycle.”
Founded in 2005, Zupt has built a strong reputation for solving complex subsea positioning and inspection challenges through close collaboration with customers. Operating globally from its headquarters in Houston, the company supports offshore energy and renewable projects with advanced metrology, inspection, and engineering services.
“For nearly twenty years, Zupt has focused on solving some of the subsea industry’s most demanding marine construction and inspection challenges through innovative engineering, operational experience, and close collaboration with our customers,” said Keith Vickery, Founder and President of Zupt. “Becoming part of Rosenxt marks an exciting new chapter for our company, our employees, and our customers. We share a strong engineering mindset and a long-term commitment to developing new technologies and applications that make offshore operations safer, smarter, and more efficient. As part of Rosenxt, we will be able to accelerate innovation, expand our global reach, and deliver even greater value to customers around the world while continuing to build on the trust we have earned over the past two decades.”
The acquisition of Zupt complements Rosenxt’s existing subsea and offshore capabilities with advanced navigation, positioning, and autonomy technologies. Together with Beam and K.U.M., it further strengthens Rosenxt’s ability to provide integrated solutions across the lifecycle of offshore and subsea assets—from installation and commissioning through inspection, integrity management, monitoring, and long-term operation.
The acquisition also strengthens Rosenxt Holding USA LLC’s engineering capabilities while expanding the Group’s operational footprint and customer network in North America. The transaction has been completed with immediate effect. The financial terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
