“Each year, we sift through all the new product announcements, events and other sources to publish information on the most applicable products for our readers,” says Rod Sutton, Construction Equipment editorial director. “Each editor presents his list, and then we decide, as a staff, which 100 to honor.”

The Leica iCON product line and software package made its debut appearance at the 2012 World of Concrete. To celebrate its first anniversary, and in light of iCON’s prestigious recognition, Leica Geosystems readies to launch several new products that incorporate a series of advanced construction solutions.

Among these innovations is the release of the latest version of the Leica iCon software package. This is one of the most highly anticipated enhancements to the iCON portfolio.

About the Award
The Top 100 from Construction Equipment magazine is the first awards program in the industry designed to annually recognize the top equipment based on these criteria: advances in technology, new product lines, significant improvements to existing products, or a product that increases competition in its field. The editors of the magazine review every single product that ran in print for the past year and make a case for why it should be chosen. It is a group effort, and outside companies have no input in the selections.
