Aptella was selected as the dealer of the year from the Topcon Positioning Systems (TPS) region, which includes all Topcon positioning and machine control dealers in the Americas and Oceania.

The award was presented at the Topcon Xperience event in Arizona in early November. In attendance from Aptella were CEO Martin Nix, Harry Katsanevas (Business Area Manager for Machine Control) and Joel Seddon (National Product Manager Machine Control).

In addition to being announced as 2012-2013 Topcon International Dealer of the Year, Aptella also won a Top Three Dealer Award for Emerging Business and a Top Ten Dealer Award for Construction.

Jamie Williamson, TPS Executive Vice President and General Manager, said that without a doubt, Aptella was one of Topcon’s best global dealers and partners.

“That is saying something, given that the Topcon distribution network is one of the best in serving construction industry end-users around the world,” he said.

“Aptella’ staffs’ dedication to advocating advanced technology to their customers throughout Australia – coupled with their record of providing exemplary sales and service support – created the opportunity for Aptella to be named International Dealer of the Year for Construction.

“It is an outstanding award to recognise the accomplishments of an outstanding dealership,” said Williamson.

“We were delighted to receive these awards and are particularly proud of our dealer of the year accolade,” said Aptella CEO Martin Nix.

“Aptella has enjoyed a long and successful partnership with Topcon and we look forward to working together with even greater success in the years to come,” he said.

“Our winning of these awards is largely thanks to the energy and expertise of the entire Aptella team, who consistently work to exceed customer expectations and add value to the Topcon product range.”

Following the announcement of the award in Arizona, TPS President and CEO Ray O’Connor was keynote presenter at Aptella’ internal sales conference held in Noosa, Queensland in mid November.

At this event, O’Connor formally presented the award plaques to Aptella.
