Valmie Resources Inc. (OTCBB:VMRI) today announced it has signed
a definitive agreement to acquire Vertitek Technologies, a
privately-held technology frontrunner in the unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV) sector. With this acquisition, Valmie obtains rights
to Vertitek’s entire portfolio of investigational next-generation
UAV designs and autonomous flight controllers. The transaction is
expected to close in the coming weeks, subject to the customary
closing conditions.

Vertitek’s hardware and software technology enables a
sophisticated level of autonomy for UAV’s and other autonomous
mobilized devices, including precision guidance controls and
advanced safety features. Vertitek’s commercial V-1 Drone℠ is a
multi-rotor platform that features a large carbon fiber composite
frame with high efficiency brushless motors designed to enhance
Valmie’s speed-to-market strategy with an integrated, fully
autonomous autopilot leveraging Valmie’s AIMD Platform.
“The commercial uses of drones and other unmanned vehicles will
provide billions of dollars in economic growth – and we couldn’t be
more pleased to add Vertitek’s resources to our mission-critical
assets,” said Gerald B. Hammack, President and CEO of Valmie,
commenting on the deal. “This agreement is an exciting growth
opportunity that shows promise for long-term profitability.
Vertitek is a pioneer in its field and this acquisition will allow
Valmie to accelerate commercialization of our groundbreaking AIMD
platform, helping us to expand our commitment to excellence and
capture market share early on.”
Valmie’s revolutionary end-to-end cloud platform, AIMD
(Autonomous Intelligence for Mobile Devices), will help users
manage and control independent mobilized devices with a unique set
of data services. This new platform, currently in development, will
give drones – and other unmanned vehicles – an improved ability to
communicate. Vertitek develops components for unmanned vehicles,
leveraging the business value that comes from customizing them for
specific industries and analyzing the data they collect.
“Everyone, it seems, is talking about unmanned vehicles,
especially drones, whether for industry, research or performance
art. The skies have never been busier,” said Sean Foster, founder
of Vertitek. “The acquisition marks the next step in the
collaborative effort of the two companies and an opportunity to
expand on the groundwork laid by our team. We have total confidence
that our combined resources will propel both companies to new
heights.”
The exciting industry surrounding global unmanned aerial
vehicles, or drones, is estimated to reach worldwide spending of
$98 billion over the next decade, according to Business Insider.
With platforms that serve as robust tools for data gathering and
analysis, enabling mapping, surveying, 3D modeling and more, drones
are currently in use across multiple industries around the world,
including agriculture, construction, infrastructure, search and
rescue, and ecological study.
