Two award-winning positioning products dealers – Rocky Mountain Transit and Laser of Sandy, Utah, and Transit Instruments of Murray, Utah – have formed a partnership with a common goal to bring the highest level of service and support to users of precision technology, primarily in Utah.
The common connection for the two firms is Topcon Positioning Systems (TPS). Rocky Mountain has been a Top 5 dealer of Topcon machine control construction products for the past three years and together with Transit Instruments, will begin selling Topcon survey instruments; Transit Instruments, a former Topcon dealer, announced it would immediately begin selling the entire Topcon product line – survey and construction.
The two dealers have more than 60 years of experience in the positioning business in Utah. Rocky Mountain offers sales, service and rentals of GPS and optical surveying instruments, construction lasers, as well as repair services and field supplies. Transit Instruments specializes in providing and servicing a full line of survey and construction solutions, including the sales, leasing of GPS and optical surveying instruments. The company also provides products from more than 30 name brand companies and is the No. 1 field supply house for surveyors in Utah.
Peter Wallace, TPS director of sales-survey, praised the two companies for their "years of commitment to quality sales, training and service. Both companies understand the importance of integrating technology and market changes to benefit their individual businesses and customers.
Wallace said the partnership is not just two companies joining together to become a bigger company. "This is a classic example of excellent companies pledging to work together to become a multi-service source for supporting their customers’ growing reliance on the latest and most efficient positioning technology."
Micklos of Rocky Mountain said the partnership is "absolutely the best of business opportunities for our customers and employees. Working with Dan Hirst and his staff is a great opportunity for us to learn from his extensive experience in the surveying industry."
He said with Transit Instruments picking up the Topcon instrument line, "We will be forming a strong partnership focused on providing all our customers, and potential customers, with the best positioning instruments available today."
