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.”
