HERRENKNECHT BUYS OUT TMS

摘要

Herrenknecht has taken over Techni-Metal Systemes (TMS), the French manufacturer of tunnel supply vehicles. The German TBM manufacturer said in doing so it had expanded its peripheral systems portfolio. Philippe Fraunhofer and Pierre Matthieu Hieber, both of Herrenknecht, will manage TMS. Herrenknecht management board vice chairman Gebhard Lehmann added, "TMS offers state-of-the-art products, which are indispensable for modern tunnel construction, because quicker tunnelling performances must go hand in hand with very efficient transport systems in the back area.
