Finally, the competitors were compared and ranked for relative position.
"We consider Leica Geosystems a market leader because of its diversified product offerings through consistent product design that incorporate emerging technologies, and the sales growth rate reaching in the high double digits," says Madhan Dhandayutham, Head Analyst at Frost and Sullivan.
"We are honoured to receive the Frost and Sullivan award for the second time," says Laser Tracker Product Line General Manager Duncan Redgewell.
"Our customers choose our laser trackers because of their long-term reliability, superior thermal stability and the substantially less frequent need for calibration when compared to our competitors".
"The fact that most service companies use Leica Geosystems Laser Trackers for their high-end applications attests to the consistent accuracy our laser trackers deliver".
"And they deliver these results even under strenuous working conditions, running for months at a time before needing re-calibration".
"With the Frost and Sullivan award, what we already know from our customers is now given the official stamp of approval".
Mr Redgewell concludes, "We are also extremely pleased to see that our lasting commitment to Portable CMM technology, with the Leica T-Probe and the Leica T-Scan, is also winning recognition".
"We are the only company on the market that offers technically mature PCMM solutions that go beyond mere laser tracking, and this fact has not gone unnoticed by market leaders in the automotive and aerospace industries".
"We are proud to count almost all European car manufacturers - in addition to Japanese and American ones - among the users of our Leica T-Probe or Leica T-Scan systems".
"Among our aerospace customers, Boeing and Airbus have over a hundred of our laser tracker systems each, with the trend increasingly turning toward hand-held Walk-Around wireless probing offered by the Leica T-Probe".
