FLT Geosystems & LSR A Historical Perspective
The origin of FLT Geosystems began over 50 years ago. The Florida Level & Transit Co. was established in May of 1956 by the late Kenneth (Cap) MacDonald. Cap was convinced that survey instruments were integral to Florida's construction industry and that there was also a great need for someone who could repair these instruments. Cap first operated the business out of his apartment in 1956 and soon moved the business to its present location on Progresso Drive in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Cap quickly found himself driving 50, 000 miles a year picking up instruments for repair and selling supplies while Flo, his wife, handled the walk-in trade and simultaneously kept the books. Cap's son, the late Dick MacDonald, joined the rapidly growing business in 1963 and began the expansion to the statewide organization we are today. In 1972, Engineered Investments, Inc., our in-house leasing company, was added to assist our customers with a variety of flexible leasing products. LSR, Inc. was created in 1974 to serve the construction trades with pipe lasers, rotating lasers, and machine control products. Terry McKay, Dick's son-in-law, came on board in 1998 and today runs the day-to-day operations as President. Terry's son, John McKay joined the firm in 2003, adding the fourth generation committed to serving our customers with the best products and services possible. FLT Geosystems became the trade name of the Florida Level and Transit Co. in 2000 to reflect the evolution of the business into the digital age of total stations, GPS, scanners, reference station networks, and software.
