Nordic Geo Center specializes in the resale and implementation support of laser scanning and GNSS surveying solutions. We map the customer's measurement needs, recommend suitable equipment and systems, and train personnel to use them safely and productively.

We do not rent equipment or provide measurement services. Our main business is to support our customers' own measurement business by supplying equipment and training. In addition, we do demo projects and device testing when needed.

Our service is aimed at companies and organizations that need reliable measurement solutions as part of their own production or service offering. Our customers include surveying and infrastructure operators, the forest and natural resources sector, shipyards and the process industry, energy operators, and organizations that conduct environmental and water surveys. We help especially in situations where accurate 3D data from challenging sites is needed and a long-term partner is desired for equipment deliveries, support, and training.
