At Topcon, their core business is founded on the surveying instruments they have manufactured since their founding in 1932 and ophthalmic & medical equipment they introduced to the market following World War II. Since then, they have expanded their business domains through a combination of M&A and alliances, including construction machinery control technology since 1994, precision GPS receivers since 2000, precision agriculture since 2006, and mobile control technology since 2007.
Today, the world is facing an increase in eye diseases due to global population aging, food shortages caused by global population increase, global infrastructure demands and a shortage of engineering personnel to meet that demand, and continued infrastructure deterioration. In the domains of healthcare, agriculture, and infrastructure, they embrace the philosophy "Topcon for Human Life" as they work to expand their business by applying Topcon solutions towards resolving societal challenges.
Topcon operates in three segments, the Positioning Business, which uses high-precision GNSS positing technology to achieve the automation of civil engineering construction and farming, the Smart Infrastructure Business, which applies the surveying technology we have developed since their founding in the fields of infrastructure development and structural maintenance and management, and the Eye Care Business, which offers advanced solutions in the field of ophthalmology. In the fields of healthcare, agriculture and infrastructure, the basic foundations of people lives, Topcon exists as a company that offers solutions that are beneficial to humanity that continues to grow with society.
