Our History

Global Tunnelling Experts (GTE) is a fully owned subsidiary of Herrenknecht AG, world’s market leader in mechanized tunnel technology.

GTE was founded in 2007 by the acquisition of a Dutch company, specialized in providing personnel for mechanized tunnelling. Shortly after, in 2010, GTE was already expanded by acquiring a Danish company of the same field.

By merging these skillful companies, GTE could count on several decades of experience in the area of personnel management on jobsites.

Our directors, Claus Nielsen and Kevin Browning, started their own careers as fieldworkers on tunnelling jobsites. Accordingly, they can relate to the expectations and demands of both the personnel onsite and the clients.

In addition, being part of the Herrenknecht Group, allows GTE to be part of a powerful organization and to have first-hand access to the newest technology. We have therefore the unique opportunity to align our business on the latest trends and market demands.
