Kraken Robotics Receives $34 Million of SeaPower Battery Orders
Company to Open New Battery Production Facility to Meet Defense Market Demand
ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland and Labrador, Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kraken Robotics Inc. ('Kraken' or the 'Company') (TSX-V: PNG, OTCQB: KRKNF) announces that it has received orders totaling $34 million for SeaPower™ pressure tolerant batteries from three clients. In addition, Kraken has signed a lease to open a new battery production facility in Nova Scotia to meet rising defense market demand for uncrewed underwater vehicles (UUVs).
'With the emergence of new larger classes of UUVs and greater adoption of these platforms in naval fleets, reliable subsea power requirements are increasing,' said Greg Reid, President and CEO of Kraken Robotics. 'These new orders illustrate the robust customer demand we have for Kraken's SeaPower batteries across the U.S., Europe, and Asia Pacific.'
One order, totaling $31 million, represents Kraken's largest battery order to date. The client, who cannot be named at this time, provides UUVs to the defense industry. Two commercial clients with UUVs also placed orders totaling $3 million.
'We have new battery form factors that will be released in late 2025 that are generating strong interest across several vehicle manufacturers,' said Mr. Reid. 'This will allow us to address a segment of the market that we have not previously had solutions for – small and medium-sized UUVs. Once completed, our new facility will allow us to triple our current battery production capacity.'
Kraken's new manufacturing facility will provide approximately 60,000 square feet of office and production space and is expected to be operational toward the end of 2025. With this new capacity, Kraken will be in an improved position to meet growing customer demand in the subsea power domain with manufacturing from both Canada and the original facility in Germany. Kraken's subsea lithium polymer batteries are delivering extended endurance and reduced costs to customers who are providing important national security and commercial subsea survey and inspection work.
Key Highlights on New Manufacturing:
Strategic Expansion: Kraken is investing $10 million in a new manufacturing facility to expand its subsea power leadership. The facility is located near many current customers in the U.S. northeast, providing shorter delivery times and enhanced customer support capabilities. This initial expansion provides a reduced risk path to technology transfer of skills and intellectual property from the German facility to the North American market. As Kraken expands its presence in the United States, this will allow for an easier transition for additional manufacturing south of the Canadian border. This new facility will include multiple 6,000-meter rated pressure testing tanks allowing Kraken to increase total subsea battery production to almost $200 million annually, once fully operational.
Commitment to Innovation: Kraken's commitment to innovation is evident in the substantial investment in R&D and new product development, a key to continued growth. Building on the region's strengths in industrial infrastructure, Kraken plans to create at least 200 permanent new advanced manufacturing jobs over the next four years and 25 temporary construction jobs to retrofit the new facility. The expansion will provide meaningful, sustainable employment opportunities for years to come, with a focus on working with local stakeholders to develop programs aimed at skills diversification for local talent. The new facility will be situated in the largest industrial park east of Montreal and north of Boston and be able to access talent from the multiple technical schools and universities in the region. Kraken will continue with its presence at the Center for Ocean Ventures and Entrepreneurship (COVE) where they design autonomous launch and recovery systems for use on crewed and uncrewed naval vessels.

PS&S Sponsors Drinking Water Project in Nicaraguan Village
Firm Helps Non-Profit, 'Green Empowerment,' Construct a Micro Utility; 100 Families to Get Safe Drinking Water in El Paraisito WARREN, N.J., June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Approximately 300 residents of a small farming community in Nicaragua will soon have access to clean, safe drinking water thanks to PS&S' sponsorship of non-profit organization, Green Empowerment's, construction of a micro-utility. El Paraisito, located in the municipality of Pueblo Nuevo, Estelí, is within Nicaragua's dry corridor, a region highly vulnerable to water scarcity. Currently, the residents of El Paraisito rely on community wells which are located far from homes, lack proper protection, and receive little to no maintenance. This creates risks to community health and well-being as well as demands hours of work each day for women and children to collect water. 'Green Empowerment asked if we could help the citizens of El Paraisito and we said 'yes,'' said PS&S President and CEO, John Sartor. 'As an architecture and engineering firm, we understand water utilities and, while we are not responsible for design and construction, PS&S has lent financial assistance.' In partnership with FEDICAMP, an association of 'campesino' (small farmer) community groups dedicated to increasing economic opportunities & living conditions in rural Nicaragua, the Green Empowerment team is constructing a community-wide water system that will utilize electric pumping, gravity-fed distribution, filtration and chlorination. The system will feature a machine-drilled well, a pipeline network connecting to a storage tank, a water treatment system, a two-mile distribution network, and metered household connections, bringing clean potable water to every household in the community. 'Working with an engineering firm like PS&S, who really gets both the technical side of things and the heart of our mission, is a win-win for us and for the people of El Paraisito,' said Green Empowerment Executive Director, Andrea Johnson. 'Partnerships like this really matter. Small and mid-size firms can support a project from start to finish.' Johnson noted that the project includes comprehensive training on system maintenance and management. Community members will help build the infrastructure, elect a water committee, and vote on a monthly water tariff, setting them up to successfully manage the system for years to come. 'This important project is a way for us to help a good cause in a country that has connections to our area with sizable Nicaraguan American communities in Hudson, Bergen and Passaic counties as well as many other parts of the Tri-state area,' concluded Sartor. According to census data, the New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York Marketing Statistical Area (MSA) has the fourth largest Nicaraguan American population in the United States after Florida, California and Texas. About PS&S Founded in 1962, PS&S has evolved into a unique best-in-class architecture, engineering, surveying, and environmental consulting firm, providing design and consultation services to a wide range of public, corporate, institutional and commercial clients. PS&S is ranked among the top national design firms by Engineering News Record (and among the top 15 national engineering firms in pharmaceuticals). Recognized both for its breadth of services and depth of expertise, PS&S is the single source for planning, permitting and design at the local, State and Federal levels.
