VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZenaTech, Inc. (Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) ("ZenaTech"
, a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions, announces it has closed its 24th acquisition for Drone as a Service with the purchase of Florida-based Green Earth Powerwashing LLC, a franchise system with a company-owned operation and franchised units that pay ongoing royalty fees. Founded in 2010 and commencing franchise operations in 2020, the company has a corporate-owned West Palm Beach location and franchisee-operated business locations in central and south Florida. Green Earth provides exterior cleaning and property maintenance services serving local municipal governments and commercial business. The acquisition marks ZenaTech's eighth acquisition in Florida, strengthening the Company's footprint while adding a scalable power washing franchise platform to the Drone as a Service network facilitating future expansion opportunities.
“The acquisition of Green Earth Powerwashing is another strategic addition to our Drone as a Service business, providing an established customer base, trained operators, and adding to our scalable platform through franchise expertise to accelerate the rollout of drone-powered services,” said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., CEO of ZenaTech. “With more than a decade of recurring business and customer relationships across Florida, Green Earth strengthens our regional footprint and advances our vision of building a first-mover drone-enabled platform in services like cleaning we can automate and scale. As one of the fastest-growing commercial drone segments expanding at nearly 17% annually, we see a significant opportunity for AI drone-powered cleaning to provide faster, safer and more cost-effective automated maintenance solutions for governments, property managers, and commercial building owners across our global network.”
Green Earth Powerwashing locations provide exterior cleaning and property maintenance for a variety of property managers, municipalities, commercial property owners, hospitality operators, and homeowners association customers. The company provides pressure washing, roof cleaning, building exterior cleaning, concrete cleaning, and related maintenance services through environmentally responsible cleaning practices and a recurring-service business model. Through its franchise structure, Green Earth has established a platform for geographic expansion while maintaining consistent service standards and customer relationships.
ZenaTech management believes there are strong long-term opportunities in major metropolitan markets across the US and globally for Drone as a Service power washing. In Florida, these markets include Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Fort Lauderdale, where large concentrations of commercial buildings, condominium towers, hotels, and mixed-use developments require regular exterior cleaning and maintenance. By integrating drones into Green Earth's operations, ZenaTech expects to improve safety, efficiency, service quality, and operating economics, particularly for high-rise and difficult-to-access properties.
The global drone power washing market falls under a broader drone cleaning services market category that was valued at approximately USD $5.17 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach over $15.2 billion by 2031, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of almost 17% according to market analyst Valuates Reports, fueled by increasing demand for safe, efficient and cost-effective maintenance solutions.
ZenaTech’s Drone as a Service platform provides business and government clients with subscription-based access to faster and superior drone-based services for a host of surveying, inspection, maintenance, power washing, inventory management, and precision agriculture services, without the costs or operational burdens of drone ownership. By acquiring established, profitable service companies currently using low-tech and under digitized processes ripe for drone innovation, ZenaTech is building a global, multi-service DaaS network of locations in communities anchored by existing customers and revenue, for next-generation drone integration offering speed, precision and safety benefits.
