About the company
JM Robotics focuses on high-quality and cost-effective solutions that will be preferred in increasingly competitive markets for our customers.
JM Robotics was founded to pave the way for a more environmentally friendly and efficient future, with the goal of bringing positive change to the industry.
JM Robotics AS is a technology company located in Kristiansund. Since 2016, we have been developing products for underwater use. We also import components for our ROV from one of the world's most innovative companies in this field, Blue Robotics Inc. We develop our own ROV to maintain high standards and quality. This ROV is designed to be stationed on fixed underwater installations and operated remotely.
IT STARTED IN A GARAGE
The company was founded by Johan Hellstrøm and Magnus Kjelland-Olsen, who began designing and building ROVs from a garage in Kristiansund.

OUR FIRST CUSTOMER
We delivered our very first ROV system to a player in the Norwegian oil industry.

A GROWING COMPANY
Production ramped up, and we sold a significant number of ROVs to the aquaculture industry, including multiple systems to one of the country's largest aquaculture companies.

WE ARE HIRING
We made our first two hires: a software developer and a product developer, joining Johan and Magnus.


100% LOCAL
For the first time, we delivered an ROV system that was 100% locally produced to a fish farming facility in Northern Norway.

GAZELLE COMPANY
We were awarded the Gazelle diploma by DN for being one of Norway's fastest-growing companies.

GAZELLE COMPANY — AGAIN!
We proudly earned the title of "Gazelle Company" for the second consecutive year.

GAZELLE COMPANY — ONCE MORE!
With over 20 employees, the company has delivered around 300 ROVs nationally and internationally. Recently, we moved to new facilities in Melkvika Næringspark and successfully launched the JM Connect software.

Competence and experience
We know what it's like to be underwater, and we have the expertise needed to develop sustainable solutions for aquaculture and other maritime industries.
We aim to create the systems that we ourselves desired when working out at sea, and we have the expertise necessary to develop software and ROV systems to streamline tasks, reduce costs, and make workplaces at sea safer.
