As a results of the acquisitions, DSI will combine all its global tunnelling activities, including those in Australia that serve the Asia-Pacific region, into a new specialist tunnelling division headquartered in Austria.
All R&D activities of DSI Tunneling will now be coordinated by the new tunnelling division.
“This will result in more effective service for customers who will undoubtedly benefit from the transfer of technology between DSI companies that have developed an expertise in all aspects of strata control technology,” DSI said.
