Our story
Envico Technologies Ltd, previously Environment & Conservation Technologies Ltd (ECT) is an award-winning environmental technologies company, pioneering the R&D of specialist drones and automated systems for conservation and biosecurity. By merging engineering, science and drone regulatory disciplines, Envico is able to develop fit-for-purpose solutions, primarily within:
-
Invasive species detection
-
Invasive species control
-
Native forestry restoration
-
Environmental monitoring
Founded in 2018, Envico has already garnished significant interest around the world for its leading drone technology and automated ground devices for invasive vertebrate management. With head office in Tauranga, New Zealand, and Australian office in Melbourne, Envico conducts R&D on a number of technology projects as well as provides services using our proprietary drone technology in New Zealand, Australia and throughout the Pacific.
The company was founded by Samuel Vye and Cameron Baker with a focus of developing specialist drone systems. Very quickly, it became apparent that there was a need for new tool development for conservation use, both aerial and ground based. With that demand, the team grew and capabilities increased to fill that demand. The Envico team is now made up of engineers, scientists, and drone experts to fully develop suitable systems.
