A Proud Heritage
1947
Central Jutland, Denmark. Per Aarsleff borrowed 10,000 Danish Kroner from his father’s life insurance, bought an excavator, and founded Northern Europe’s leading contracting company.
1970s
In spite of general economic downturn, the 1970s was a very busy period for Aarsleff. There was a great demand for piling and Aarsleff were driving piles for large-scale projects, circa 10,000 running metres of piles.
1984
A quantum leap in the company’s history came when Per Aarsleff A/S became listed on the stock exchange. Today, this success is reflected in the price of the shares; a sign of the investors trust in the company.
1990s
Aarsleff gained expertise within electrification of railways, and the piling division was soon very busy driving piles for the Danish rail network. The specially developed piling rigs then found their way to Spain, Germany and Poland. In addition to the Centrum pile factory in Denmark, Aarsleff Ground Engineering now have pile factories located in the UK, Sweden, Germany and Poland. Indeed, the Aarsleff Group is the largest pile producer in Northern Europe.

2000
All subsidiaries diversified their product and services portfolio to
offer a variety of pile types and specialist geotechnical solutions
making the Aarsleff Ground Engineering segment a highly
competitive expert in its field, growing rapidly to become one
of Europe’s most trusted and experienced ground engineering
contractors.
2008
Despite the recession, Aarsleff and Centrum focused their efforts on expansion. Centrum’s automated factory was built and another robot installed, meaning Centrum and Aarsleff were prepared to hit the ground running when work picked up once more.
2016
Diversification took centre stage as Aarsleff acquired A&J Geotechnical Services and set up a new sheet piling division, an area we had vast experience in but had not concentrated on for a long time. This marked the start of the multidiscipline approach Aarsleff focuses upon today.
2021
Following a 12% revenue increase during a year marked by lockdowns and economic decline, Aarsleff celebrated it’s 30th anniversary in the UK. Placing multidiscipline excellence at our core, we are set to continue to grow organically and sensibly
