Based in Heerbrugg, Switzerland, Leica Geosystems is a global company with tens of thousands of customers supported by more than 2,400 employees in 21 countries and hundreds of partners located in more than 120 countries around the world. 

The origins of Leica Geosystems date back nearly 200 years, with the founding of Kern & Co. in 1819. A little over one hundred years later, in a small empty textile mill in Heerbrugg, Heinrich Wild was busy developing the T2, the world’s first truly portable opto-mechanical theodolite and building the foundation of modern surveying.

Leica Geosystems enables industrial customers such as those in the automotive and aircraft industries to measure large components accurately to tolerances in the hundredth-millimeter range and process the data directly in their CAD systems. 

Our product range includes laser trackers, image-processing systems, and high-precision industrial total stations, along with an up-to-date spectrum of software that can communicate with all commercial CAD products.
