Our Vision for Position Partners
Topcon already has a considerable presence in Australia, with a machine control division based in Brisbane, an operation in Sydney and its agriculture business in Adelaide. And because Topcon’s software machine control is actually written in Brisbane, we can work extremely closely with them with regard to new products and product development. With Position Partners as a national company, the relationship with Topcon and our machine control products can only get better.Harry Katsanevas, Position Partners Machine Control Manager, Queensland

About Us
Position Partners has a staff of more than 120 people throughout Australia, with the directors alone having more than 170 years of combined industry experience, dating back to 1975.
No other supplier of precision positioning products in Australia can match the depth of industry knowledge, experience and support capabilities that we offer -- combined with Topcon’s world-leading product quality and innovation.
The principals of each of the former dealers are the shareholders of Position Partners, and all are continuing as state managers in the new company.
Former dealer principals and now shareholders include Mike Forrest (Queensland), Brian McLoughlin and Garry Fleming (NSW) and Bob Bent (Victoria).
These principals pioneered the introduction of the first laser-based and automatic machine control systems for the construction industry in the late 1970s-1980s, followed by 2D grader and sonic systems in the 1990s and more recently the latest 3D-GPS systems.
Others include South Australia’s David Gow, who started in the industry in 1985 as a laser repair technician before becoming the principal of Ross Instruments in 1997, and Garry MacPhail, a qualified engineering surveyor, who managed Topcon’s WA branch for 12 years before starting Stadia Instruments with Bernard Cecchele in 2001.
