Company History

Innovative, trusted, proven.

At the forefront of innovative mining technology for
30 years, Maptek values its people - experts in product development, engineering, geology and survey.

Our Journey

Maptek has grown from a small mining software company created by Dr Bob Johnson, to a collaborative network of 11 offices and 260 employees around the world. Every employee strives to help fulfil the Maptek vision, “Your success is our success.”

Our success would not be possible without an enduring relationship with our customers. Your feedback nourishes the enthusiasm of Maptek employees to keep pushing boundaries. As short-term plans segue into long-term sustainability, this partnership will continue to drive us for the next 30 years.

Our vision remains to be the first choice of mining operations. We are committed to understanding your challenges and providing innovative products and services of exceptional quality and value.

More on our celebration of 30 years of innovation

"Our secret is that we really understand the industry. Our aim is to provide the best products and services, and we invest heavily in R&D. To be pioneers, you have to be willing to take a risk with new technology and support people with new ideas. The companies who have backed us can testify to the value of this policy."

Dr Bob Johnson, Maptek Founder

"Maptek is very different from our competitors. We're different because of our people, our products, our services and our vision.

We seek the best practitioners and graduates in their field of study and give them the tools and training they need to help make our customers successful."
