Unique Group, an expert in subsea technologies and engineering, has entered a strategic partnership with UK-based Rovtech Solutions focused on expanding sales, service and support for Rovtech’s VALOR ROV systems across the Middle East and Asia Pacific.

By combining Rovtech’s advanced subsea robotics capability with Unique Group’s strong regional footprint, the partnership is designed to accelerate market penetration and enhance local support in regions where demand for reliable, high-performance ROV systems continues to grow.

The agreement further strengthens Unique Group’s integrated ROV solutions portfolio, as VALOR bridges the gap between observation-class and work-class ROVs, making it ideal for offshore, nearshore and inland subsea operations where flexibility and rapid deployment are critical.

Rovtech is a specialist engineering company focused on the design and manufacture of robotics, tooling and equipment for the world’s harshest environments.

The business supports critical operations across the nuclear and subsea energy sectors, where performance, precision and reliability are paramount.

Unique Group will support regional business development through its sales and marketing channels, including exhibitions, campaigns and direct client engagement, while Rovtech will provide technical expertise and marketing collateral to underpin joint activity.

A key element of the partnership is training and capability building.

In Q1 2026, Unique Group technicians will undertake formal training delivered by Rovtech, with the aim of establishing certified service and training centres for VALOR ROV systems in-region.

This approach is intended to ensure high-quality after-sales support and long-term operational capability close to customers, while maintaining Rovtech’s oversight of system performance and standards.

John Polson, CEO of Rovtech, said: “This collaboration is about strengthening how we support customers in specific international regions where VALOR is already proving its value. We have systems operating successfully around the world, and partnering with Unique Group allows us to build deeper regional capability in the Middle East and Asia Pacific while continuing to manage and grow our presence elsewhere. It is a practical, customer-focused step in the evolution of the VALOR platform.”

Fraser Moonie, Commercial Strategy and Development Director at Unique Group, added: “This partnership is a perfect alignment of strengths. By combining Rovtech’s cutting-edge ROV technology with our global engineering expertise and regional support network, we can deliver fully backed, end-to-end solutions to customers worldwide. -TradeArabia News Service
