Kuker-Ranken

Kuker-Ranken is an American construction supply company and manufacturer that has served surveying, construction, and geospatial professionals for nearly a century. Incorporated in 1928, the company began by manufacturing hand levels in Renton, Washington, and later expanded into downtown Seattle as the surveying industry grew. Over the decades, Kuker-Ranken evolved from a traditional instrument maker into a full-service technology provider, offering advanced GNSS, reality capture, construction technology, drones, and hydrographic solutions. The company became an area dealer for Wild Heerbrugg in 1978, a relationship that eventually connected it to Leica Geosystems technology. In 1980, it established its Mountlake Terrace location, which remains its headquarters and a foundation for regional expansion. Today, Kuker-Ranken operates locations serving customers throughout Washington, Oregon, Utah, and Nevada, with a focus on precision measurement solutions backed by knowledgeable people, dependable service, and long-term support. Its product portfolio includes laser scanners, total stations, GNSS receivers, 3D laser scanning, mobile mapping, drones, and related software and accessories. The company also provides rentals, training, technical support, financing, and repair and calibration services. Kuker-Ranken is a private company and continues to operate as a trusted resource for design and construction professionals in the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
