(KNZA )-Hiawatha-based Hemisphere GPS has sold its non-agricultural business assets.
The Canadian subsidiary of Beijing UniStrong Science and Technology Company has purchased the assets for nearly $15 million.
UniStrong markets to China, and products sold to the subsidiary include marine, land survey, construction, mapping and original equipment manufacturer segments.
In a news release, the company also announced it plans to changes its corporate name to AgJunction Inc. subject to approval of shareholders at their 2012 annual meeting in May.
