Geodis Brno operates in the fields of surveying, photogrammetry and sales of survey equipment. Established in 1990 as one of the first private companies in former Czechoslovakia, the company has grown into a group of ten companies working in five countries.
Founded in June 1990 by three Czech surveyors and an Austrian survey office, the company was among the first to be licensed legally to carry out geodetic activities in the former Czechoslovakia. Dynamic development and expansion in business activities quickly led to a growing number of employees and enforced a move to new headquarters in 1995. In 1991 came the founding of daughter-company Geodis Fotogrammetrie, and Geodis Slovakia in Bánská Bystrica and Geodis Praha in Prague followed separation of the Czechoslovak Federation. Since 1991 the company has had three departments: sales, surveying and photogrammetry.
Scope
A very important acquisition took place at the beginning of 2002 with the take-over of the second largest survey office in the Czech Republic, GB-geodezie. In 2006 subsidiaries were established in Romania and Bulgaria. With nine daughter-companies, the Geodis Group as a whole supplies the full spectrum of services in the field of geo-data, employing in excess of 370 people and reaching an annual turnover of €21 million. More than two hundred survey experts work daily on hundreds of projects covering cadastre, design, setting-out, construction and design. Our photogrammetric department, one of the best equipped of its kind in Europe, provides the basic material from which we produce orthophotomaps, digital terrain models, vector maps and city models for clients worldwide every year. In 2000 a special laser-scan department was established and we now offer the complete range of applications for airborne Lidar survey and terrestrial laser scanning. Another department works on data conversion and digitalisation for CAD/GIS. Our philosophy is to supply first-class data usable on various platforms, including those of Bentley, Intergraph, Autodesk and ESRI, but also many others.
