FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: GPRS Acquires Subtronic

The California-Based Firm Marks GPRS’ 13th Acquisition

MAUMEE, October 6, 2025 – GPRS has acquired Subtronic Corporation, a provider of utility locating and pipe inspection services based in Martinez, California. Founded in 1984, Subtronic is known for delivering high quality subsurface detection services to the engineering and construction industries, using state-of-the-art equipment, technology, and processes. This marks the thirteenth acquisition for Maumee-Ohio-based GPRS.

“GPRS is the ideal new owner for Subtronic,” said Jonathan Taylor, President of Subtronic. “GPRS’ scale and reputation make it a perfect home for the Subtronic team. We are excited for this new partnership because it will allow us to provide a broader set of products and services, so we can better serve our clients and further accelerate our growth.”  Subtronic’s Vacuum Excavation and Pipe Cleaning business arm will form a new company that will continue to service its existing customers and work closely with GPRS to provide a full suite of subsurface utility engineering solutions.

Subtronic represents a highly complementary acquisition that enhances GPRS’ existing capabilities and market position in Northern California. “Subtronic is a tremendous fit for GPRS,” said Matt Aston, CEO of GPRS. “We share a similar vision, culture, and mission for serving our clients with the highest quality of service and support.
