LIVERMORE, CA, Feb 9, 2026 – Topcon Positioning Systems has announced an RPC investment in its U.S. retail network, Topcon Solutions Stores (TSS). The move expands funding for TSS direct sales and field support across the United States. Topcon is positioning TSS to help contractors deploy positioning and machine control systems on active job sites. The investment also signals focus on scaling access to advanced construction technology solutions across the U.S. market.
Long-term trends in the U.S. construction market, including housing shortages, infrastructure investment, and upgrades to aging assets, are sustaining demand. Construction also trails other sectors in digital adoption, leaving an opening for tech-focused sales and support. RPC sees an opportunity to back Topcon Solutions Stores as contractors adopt construction technology.
“We see tremendous opportunity in the U.S. construction sector, particularly as contractors accelerate their projects through digital transformation,” said David Alban, RPC, Inc. board member, and CEO and president of Ring Power Corporation. “Topcon is a global leader in positioning technology, and Topcon Solutions Stores have earned the trust of thousands of end users across the country. By investing in TSS, we are supporting a business that is positioned to modernize a massive, essential industry and deliver real value to the professionals who build America’s infrastructure.”
Ivan Di Federico, president and CEO of Topcon Positioning Systems, said, “RPC, Inc.’s investment reflects the growing recognition that positioning technology and job site automation are essential to the future of construction. Topcon Solutions Stores play a critical role in delivering that technology directly to the field, backed by training, service, and trusted local support. RPC, Inc.’s commitment reinforces the long-term potential of the North American market and the value of our retail network.”
“RPC, Inc.’s investment is a strong endorsement of the work our TSS team does to support contractors as they adopt digital workflows, automation tools, and advanced positioning technologies,” said Murray Lodge, executive vice president of construction for Topcon. “The construction industry is changing rapidly, and this investment strengthens the push toward improved productivity and performance.”
“Topcon Solutions Stores currently operates in 14 retail locations and serves 22 states. We are a strong organization that will become stronger with the growth potential this investment brings,” said Mark Contino, vice president of Topcon North American retail distribution, TSS. “As a direct Topcon distributor and an Autodesk Platinum Partner, we deliver digital solutions that are unmatched in the industry by integrating advanced positioning technology with the Autodesk construction software portfolio.
