Every day around the world, tens of thousands of professionals rely on Hexagon-owned Leica Geosystems’ instruments and software to do their jobs with precision. These people work in a diverse range of industries, including surveying and engineering, building and heavy construction, and safety and security.

Hexagon Geosystems Asia President Chris Lee says he and his team feel privileged that professionals have so much faith in the accuracy of their geospatial solutions. “The customers who use our technology trust their careers to our instruments,” he says. “We have a true partnership with them and a commitment to ensure this equipment continues to serve them well.”

Of course, it’s not only their careers that are on the line, but also their lives and those of others. Chris doesn’t take this responsibility lightly. “This is why it has to be right,” he stresses. “With so much at stake, accuracy is essential.”

After starting out in a small Swiss town nearly 200 years ago, the company has grown to become a global enterprise serving customers in 150 countries and employing more than 4,500 people. Acquired by Swedish tech giant Hexagon in 2005, Leica Geosystems is now a world leader in spatial measurement and prides itself on creating innovative technologies, developing outstanding products and delivering exceptional customer service.
