Aptella acquires Altech Distributors

Under the agreement, Aptella becomes the exclusive Australian distributor of C.Scope cable locator tools

Technology solutions provider Aptella has announced the acquisition of Altech Distributors, a Melbourne-based family-owned business that specialises in cable locators and altimeters used in the construction industry.

The acquisition gives customers throughout Australia and New Zealand access to the full range of C.Scope pipe and cable locator tools.

“With service centres throughout Australia and New Zealand, plus decades of experience with all manner of levelling, measuring and positioning instruments, we look forward to supporting and expanding our combined customer base,” Aptella CEO Martin Nix says.

“On behalf of the Aptella team, our congratulations to Alan and Lesley Winford for their hard work over many years to establish and grow Altech Distributors, and our best wishes for their well-deserved retirement.”

C.Scope pipe and cable locators are used to accurately pinpoint the location and depth of underground utilities and services, to increase safety and mitigate financial risks during excavation and building projects.

“The C.Scope solutions complement Aptella’s comprehensive range of levelling and construction tools, including Topcon and iMEX lasers and accessories,” Aptella services executive manager Josh Allan says.
