10 Years Leica iCON

庆祝十年从来没有losing line of sight to you, our construction customers

Leica iCON for building and heavy construction

We're not just celebrating the tenth anniversary of Leica iCON, we're celebrating 10 years of helping construction professionals bridge the digital divide. 10 years of digital solutions that give you the power to do your work more confidently. 10 years of tailored workflow solutions that help you work faster. 10 years of eliminating cost and deadline overruns. 10 years of greater flexibility in the field. 10 years of value by leading the industry in lowest total cost of ownership. 10 years of helping you do what you do, just better. And finally, we're celebrating 10 years of Leica iCON and the construction professionals who trusted our solutions to bring more accuracy, flexibility and productivity to their work.


Here´s to ten years of getting the job done right
