Hexagon acquires SCCS, a leading supplier of Leica Geosystems surveying equipment in the UK


Hexagon AB, a leading global provider of information technologies that drive
productivity and quality across geospatial and industrial enterprise
applications, today announced the acquisition of Paul MacArthur Limited (“SCCS”)
– one of the UK’s leading suppliers of surveying equipment to the engineering
and infrastructure market and a Leica Geosystems distributor for over 20 years.

Headquartered in Cambridge, UK, SCCS provides surveying solutions across the
country, offering customers rent, purchase and service options. Through its
strong customer relations, service capabilities and business processes, SCCS has
become a trusted and reputable partner in the sector, helping some of the UK’s
major providers deliver on complex and challenging road, rail and construction
projects.

As the UK continues to fund major infrastructure projects with more stringent
processes related to Building Information Modelling (BIM), collaboration between
the construction and software sectors becomes increasingly vital. SCCS’s local
market expertise and relationships coupled with Hexagon’s digital technologies
that enable new, data-enabled ways of working will strengthen adoption of
Hexagon’s solutions in this area.

“Adding SCCS to our direct sales footprint enables us to better capitalise on
the growing opportunities in the UK, as well as offers SCCS customers
opportunities to adopt new technologies from Hexagon’s extensive portfolio,”
says Ola Rollén, Hexagon President and CEO. “Additionally, not only does this
acquisition bring us closer to our customers in the region but also provides a
wealth of knowledge and expertise in the area of equipment rental, accelerating
our ability to serve the evolving needs of our global customer base.”

SCCS will be fully consolidated as of today. Excluding intercompany revenue, the
company’s turnover for 2015 amounted to approximately 12 MEUR.
