Brandt Completes Sokkia Canada Acquisition, Expands Position as #1 Geospatial Supplier.

Jul 8, 2020 - 5 years ago

Regina, Saskatchewan - The Brandt Group of Companies is pleased to announce that,

effective July 2, they have successfully acquired the assets of Ontario-based Sokkia

Canada. This acquisition, which directly affects the Ontario and Quebec markets, makes

Brandt the exclusive dealer for Sokkia optical survey instruments, accessories and parts for

the entire Canadian market.

The news signals Brandt's entry into Central Canada's geopositioning technology market

and is the latest in a growing list of acquisitions and dealer agreements made by the

Regina, SK-based company since their purchase of Ontario/Quebec/Newfoundland and

Labrador John Deere Construction & Forestry dealer Nortrax in late 2019.

"Expanding our Sokkia offering into Ontario and Quebec has been a high priority for

Brandt," says Brandt CEO, Shaun Semple. "Central Canada is an important new market

for us and we are 100% committed to delivering exceptional value for the survey,

engineering and construction industry here. This addition is a big step forward for us."

The Sokkia product lineup will be distributed and supported through the company's Brandt

Positioning Technology division and includes total stations, Global Navigation Satellite

System (GNSS) receivers, data collectors, digital levels, and a full complement of field

accessories.

The move will consolidate Sokkia distribution for the first time under one banner and will

further establish the Brandt's position as a premier privately-held Canadian company.
