Aptella announces the opening of a new branch in Townsville, offering customers in the building, civil, resources, and geospatial industry local access to a wide range of solutions and services.

“We’re excited to welcome local customers to our new branch in Townsville today,” said Harry Katsanevas, Queensland Region Manager at Aptella. “Aptella is committed to supporting the industries we serve throughout metro and regional Queensland, through our branches in Brisbane, Townsville and support hubs in Mackay and Rockhampton.”

As Topcon’s exclusive Australian distributor for positioning systems, Aptella complements Topcon’s range of retrofit machine control and survey solutions, with intelligent safety systems, on-board weighing, aerial and terrestrial mapping instruments, condition and vibration monitoring platforms and more. For the resources sector, fleet management systems and high precision machine guidance options work seamlessly with all makes and models of mine-spec plant.

Located on the ground floor at 57 Mitchell Street, North Ward, the new Aptella office provides laser and dumpy level calibrations, quick checks for optical instruments, rental equipment and a range of accessories.

“Whether you’re after a quick clean and calibration for your laser or would like to discuss safety, machine control or GNSS requirements on an upcoming project, drop into see us for a coffee and a chat,” Mr Katsanevas said.

Teri Humphreys, Director of Townsville Earthmoving, along with Peter Murphy, Survey Discipline Manager and Director at Brazier Motti, helped to officially open the branch and cut the ribbon on 17^th May.

“It’s great to have the support of a local branch for our machine control equipment and service needs,” Ms Humphreys said. Peter Murphy agreed, saying, “Although we’ve always been supported by the Brisbane office and wider Aptella group, having a full-time team dedicated to local customers is very positive.”
