TPS HOME > ABOUT US > What We Do

At Topcon Positioning Systems, we work hard to make the complex world in which our customers operate more simple.

Our "anticipatory" approach to solving problems focuses the attention of our employees in working to provide technological breakthroughs before customers and potential customers even realize they need them.

We dream about ways to help our customers save time on the job site, thus giving them the competitive edge when it comes to establishing and expanding a profitable business.

We take those dreams and conceive of designs and products that fill important technological niches in our markets. Our corps of dedicated employees continually revolutionize the world of civil engineering, optical surveying, construction, agriculture, utilities and law enforcement by developing, designing and manufacturing an array of integrated positioning and automation technologies to meet the constantly changing demands facing industries worldwide. But our work doesn't stop there.

Our easy-to-use, rugged, reliable products are field-tested until the optimum results are realized and then - and only then - are they made available to the vast, worldwide dealer network.

At the point of sale, that's when Topcon's direct connection to the customer begins. We value the concept of exemplary customer service, but at Topcon we carry it a step further: Providing unequaled service to our customers is part of our company culture.

When it's time for simple solutions for complicated problems, there's one name that stands above the competition: Topcon.

INNOVATION.

That's the key to leadership, and the reason Topcon is the world's leading supplier of laser and optical surveying instruments. Topcon has introduced more "world's first" features than any other company.
