Trimble enters into definitive agreement to acquire TopoSys

Trimble announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire TopoSys GmbH of Biberach an der Riss, Germany in an all-cash transaction. TopoSys is a leading provider of aerial data collection systems comprised of Lidar and metric cameras. Closing of the transaction, anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter, is subject to certain closing conditions.

TopoSys aerial data collection systems are used by service companies collecting geospatial data by Lidar and photogrammetry as well as state authorities and municipalities involved in supplying geospatial information. Typical applications include mapping for coastline protection, floodplain control, city modeling, opencast pit mining, and corridor mapping.

Over the last two years, TopoSys has evolved from an aerial services business to an aerial data collection systems developer and integrator. The acquisition of TopoSys extends Trimble’s portfolio of engineering scale mapping and asset management solutions. TopoSys will also provide a European footprint to support Trimble’s aerial mapping customers, who face short flight seasons, with regional support.
