BMT has acquired Melbourne-based Australian Maritime Technologies (AMT).
AMT was founded to be the beneficiary of technology transferred to Australia through the Anzac class frigate program. It also has provided ship design and engineering services to various organizations, including the Royal Australian Navy, Royal New Zealand Navy, BAE Systems Australia and Luerssen Australia.
“We are thrilled to welcome AMT into the BMT family. Their extensive expertise in multidisciplinary naval ship design, mechanical systems, and combat systems integration aligns seamlessly with BMT’s vision to deliver innovative, comprehensive solutions to clients worldwide," said BMT's Regional Business Director for APAC, Graeme Nayler.
"This acquisition strengthens our maritime engineering and design capabilities and expands our commercial reach, driving growth across the Asia-Pacific region.”
Within BMT, AMT will be an Australian-staff-owned company owned by its 60-strong workforce.
"Joining BMT offers an exciting opportunity for AMT. Our shared values and BMT’s focus on innovation will enable us to further advance our sovereign Australian naval design and maritime engineering capabilities while creating new growth opportunities for our expanded team," said AMT's Managing Director, Rob Dunbar.
