October 7, 2013 rapidlasso GmbH, Gilching, Germany
Just in time for INTERGEO 2013, the creators of LAStools and LASzip have partnered with LIDAR Technology Co., Ltd. of Zhubei City, Taiwan as their first exclusive reseller for the Taiwanese market. The two companies decided to strengthen their ties after holding a successful LiDAR processing workshop together with over 60 attendees following the International Symposium on Mobile Mapping Technologies (MMT 2013) in Tainan City last May. "We were looking for a partner with a strong technical mindset who is committed to capacity building," says Dr. Martin Isenburg, founder of rapidlasso GmbH, "and LIDAR Technology Co., Ltd. is investing in R&D – including full waveform LiDAR – and has strong ties to
academia. We couldn’t have found a better collaborator." Dr. "James" Jin-King Liu, the CEO of LIDAR Technology Co., Ltd. concurs "our companies are a great match. LAStools is already widely popular in Taiwan, yet to employ them to their fullest potential can require some guidance. Our company has the technical expertise to provide this kind of support locally."
