Australian geospatial company Aerometrex has acquired the businesses of aerial LiDAR specialists Atlass (Aust.) Pty Ltd and Atlass Aviation Pty Ltd, based in Rockhampton Queensland. The businesses have been combined into a single entity, now known as Atlass-Aerometrex Pty Ltd. The acquisition extends the Aerometrex group’s LiDAR capabilities and provides new business growth opportunities.

“We are particularly pleased to have acquired a quality service provider like Atlass,” said Aerometrex Managing Director, Mark Deuter. “The business is well known for delivering high-quality LiDAR work in very short turnaround times. We have been very impressed with the organisational strength of the business and we would like to acknowledge the excellent work done by Matt McCauley in building this business up to a very professional standard.”

“From an Aerometrex point of view the acquisition of Atlass enables us to provide an even wider range of services. We are looking forward to bringing our aerial imaging, photogrammetry and 3D modelling capabilities to Atlass clients as well as offering Atlass’ extensive LiDAR capabilities to our clients.”

Aerometrex has been based in Adelaide for the last 15 years and is well known in the spatial and mapping industry, having produced an outstanding series of aerial photography products for government agencies, public companies and for global Internet media companies. Atlass will continue to operate from its Rockhampton base.
