Topcon Corp. last week announced that Topcon Europe Positioning B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary in the Netherlands, acquired all business and assets of Roadware B.V., a leading developer of software and hardware for paving machine control solutions. Roadware is also headquartered in the Netherlands.

“After many years of close partnership with Topcon, this company integration is an important step to take our technology to the next level,” said Joop Mennink, founder of Roadware. “The products of both companies are highly complementary and will offer our customers a truly seamless product portfolio, covering basic and most advanced automation needs.”

Leveraging Roadware’s experience and expertise in automated asphalt/concrete paving solutions, Topcon will accelerate the development of next-generation machine control systems that save time, labor, material, fuel and CO2 while maximizing quality and profitability.
