Impact Subsea was presented with the Kings Award for International Trade Excellence.
Impact Subsea, an Aberdeenshire-based developer of underwater sensing technologies, was presented with the Kings Award for Enterprise in International Trade to recognize their sustained growth and export performance across global subsea markets.
This year, it was honored to be honored as one of 116 organizations recognized for contributions to international trade - out of 197 recipients - receiving the Kings Award, representing an important step in its transformation from a small Scottish start up into an industry leader for ROV and AUV applications worldwide.
Impact Subsea is proud to have received multiple Queens Awards for Innovation over the years, evidence of continued innovation and commercial expansion over time. Since 2021, Impact Subsea has expanded its product offering of underwater altimeters, echosounders, depth sensors, temperature and motion sensors for marine industry use.
Brand and product leadership in subsea sensing
Impact Subsea has made considerable strides this year to establish its position as a provider of compact yet high performance subsea instrumentation, including its ISD4000 survey grade depth sensor with integrated motion reference system and the ISA500 long range altimeter/echosounder line. At its Kings Award presentation ceremony held today, Impact Subsea received yet another accolade honoring this work: the Kings Award!
Impact Subsea is designed to meet the demands of remote-operated and autonomous underwater platforms, offering user-specific sensor packages designed for navigation, positioning, altitude control and environmental data acquisition in offshore conditions.
The recognition under the international trade category was seen by the company as validation of their strategy to invest in technology development while working closely with regional partners to provide local sales and technical support of its product line.
Distributing agreements broaden international reach
Impact Subsea is expanding its global presence through distributor agreements to bring dedicated support closer to key subsea markets, building on models already proven in parts of Europe and Asia.
