Australian ground-penetrating radar specialist, MALA GPR Australia, has been acquired by Guideline Geo AB. As of 15 January, the company is formally known as Guideline Geo Australia Pty Ltd, although it will still trade as MALA GPR Australia.
Guideline Geo is the manufacturer of the MALA and ABEM instrument brands and has been the main supplier to MALA GPR Australia for the past 15 years.
The company says that, apart from employing more staff, “there will be no immediate change to the way the company operates; it will very much be ‘business as usual’,” and it will continue to offer the same range of geo-instrument sales, servicing, rentals, consulting and training from its headquarters in Brookvale, Sydney.
James Meintjes will continue to lead the operation with support from Per Westholm, Global Sales Director, and the whole Guideline Geo team.
In a statement, Guideline Geo AB said that “With our own office in Australia we will further invest in the market and hope to work even closer with our customers. We have a plan to grow the team and to ensure that we cover the whole region with local expertise and outstanding support of our MALA and ABEM products.”
“I’m immensely thankful to everyone who’s been part of our success,” said Mads Toft, founder of MALA GPR Australia.
“It’s been great to be able to assist so many businesses with new and exciting technologies, and I’ve been blessed with involvement in an incredible number of interesting projects. I am confident the company will become an even bigger success going forward.”
