LEICA GEOSYSTEMS NAMES VICE PRESIDENT FOR
CONSTRUCTION MARKETS IN NORTH AMERICA
Leica Geosystems Inc. has announced the appointment of Robby Dudley as vice
president, construction sales for North America.
According to Matthew Smith, president of Leica Geosystems Inc., Dudley's
appointment reflects a major new focus on the construction market resulting
from Leica's acquisition of Laser Alignment, Inc. earlier this year. Dudley
will have responsibility for sales of a wide range of surveying, laser
measurement and machine control products into construction markets in the
United States and Canada.
Dudley said, "Leica has long been the premier manufacturer of precision
measurement products for the surveying market worldwide. With the
acquisition of Laser Alignment, Leica is now in a position to enter the
construction market segment with the same quality manufacturing and product
development processes that created a leadership position in precision
surveying products. Those quality processes will lead to mutually
profitable business partnerships with our new and existing dealers across
North America."
Dudley was formerly director of operations and sales for the Ben Meadows
Company, a global direct marketing company in the natural resource industry.
He has over 20 years experience in surveying and construction sales
management with emphasis in dealer network management and direct sales
operations.
Leica Geosystems, with worldwide headquarters in Heerbrugg, Switzerland,
develops, manufactures and markets systems for surveying, mapping and
position determination. The company, with 2,750 employees, has a turnover
of over 600 million Swiss francs and is listed on the Swiss Exchange. It is
