Leica Geosystems formerly known as "Wild" based in eastern
Switzerland produces products and systems for
surveying and geographical measurement (
geomatics). It's products employ a variety of technologies including
GPS satellite navigation and
EDM laser distance measurement to enable users to model existing structures, terrains in computer based systems to high accuracies (often under 1 cm). The brand
Leica better known for it's high quality Cameras was formed on 2 April 1990 after the merger of several companies.
The roots of the firm begin back in April 1921 when the "Heinrich Wild, WerkstÃÂätte fÃÂür Feinmechanik und Optik" wass founded in Heerbrugg by Colonel Jacob Schmidheiny of Balgach, the geologist Dr. Robert Helbling of Flums and the surveyor Heinrich Wild of Glarus (see the History link).
The main customers of Leica Geosystems are surveyors, manufacturers and GIS users.
