Leica Geosystems, ABTECH expand partnership

Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, announced an expansion of its distribution partnership with ABTECH, a leading provider of construction technologies in Eastern Canada, to offer the Ontario market a complete portfolio of solutions, backed by local service, training and technical support. Building off ABTECH’s established distribution operations, the expansion provides construction companies doing business in Ontario with a one-stop-shop for any type of project, civil or building.

Almost every construction project today requires a mix of technologies to more effectively plan, design, construct and maintain infrastructure. The comprehensive portfolio of digital construction solutions from Leica Geosystems provides construction professionals with the solutions they need to more effectively construct assets, across all phases of the project. From surveying and measurement and utility detection, to machine control systems, reality capture, layout and monitoring, Ontario customers now have one place to go for all their construction technology needs.

“We are excited to offer the Ontario construction market the benefit of working with one company for all their construction technology solutions,” said Nicolas Bédard, Head of Operations at ABTECH. “We focus on meeting our customers’ unique needs not just by offering the broadest portfolio from Leica Geosystems, but by focusing our expertise particularly in the post-sale process when implementation, training, service and support are critical to success.”

Local expertise available 24/7.

ABTECH specializes in offering customers with the service, training and support they need to ensure the adoption and continuous usage of construction technologies. With more than 20 years supporting customers in the surveying and construction industry, ABTECH has the proven ability to hire and develop expert support specialists, with plans to immediately begin staffing resources for their Ontario operations.

“We are excited to continue building our distribution partnership with ABTECH to support the construction industry in Canada,” said Craig Martin, president of Leica Geosystems US & Canada. “ABTECH’s unmatched customer service combined with Leica Geosystems portfolio, is a win win for customers doing business in Ontario.”
