Company Overview
Techniplan was started in 1983 by its Principal, Colin Wolf, who is still active in the day to day operations.
The company originally concentrated on the design of large materials handling systems such as conveyors, shiploaders, stackers and reclaimers and processing plants for the mining industry. Colin Wolf had extensive experience in this industry from both a consulting viewpoint and from a contracting and steel fabrication viewpoint.
Starting in 1985, Techniplan began to bid and win turnkey design contracts. Over the last fifteen years, these contracts have varied in range from a small as thirty thousand dollar attachments to forklifts and excavators up to two million dollar plant upgrades and green field multi- disciplinary projects.
In 2007 50% of Techniplan was purchased by the HMA Group, with the remaining 50% being purchased in November 2009.
