In 1975 Martin Herrenknecht set up on his own as an engineer, and two years later founded Herrenknecht GmbH in the tiny hamlet of Schwanau, Germany. The company now generates over EUR1 billion/year in sales, employs 4,000 worldwide, and currently trains around 240 young people in the skills necessary to underpin future growth. After a sustained period of remarkable growth, Herrenknecht is now a familiar name from Bavaria to Beijing, and all points between. Read about the celebrations that accompanied this milestone event. To access the 200+ reports of Herrenknecht successes published by tunnelbuilder since 1999 click here. 29/12
