The Australian survey and construction industry has traditionally been dominated by a small number of established brands. However, in recent years, Stonex has rapidly gained traction as a leading provider of GNSS survey equipment, total stations and positioning solutions across the country.

Driven by performance, value and flexibility, Stonex is becoming the preferred choice for many surveyors, contractors and civil operators looking for reliable technology without unnecessary cost.
