“Working for Topcon has been an exciting experience and challenge, and I am convinced it will continue to be”, Korpershoek states. “Not only has Topcon been able to take a leading position in a market that has changed dramatically in the past decade, we have also been able to lead many of these changes. In this market where technology is critical for success, Topcon has all the ingredients to continue to keep expanding this leading position, especially also in Europe where the acceptance of automated solutions is probably the highest in the world.”

Full of opportunities

Topcon has more than 75 years experience in providing positioning solutions for construction, engineering and survey markets, and recent expansions have been in the field of Agriculture, Imaging and now Telematics. Most recently, Topcon announced the combination with Sokkia Co. Ltd., which will create the largest positioning instruments supplier in the world. “The future is full of opportunities”, Korpershoek states, “being part of this global team is a pleasure and honor, and we look forward to continue to build a solid and strong European team as an integral part of it.”
