The Robbins Company

What’s in a name? For starters, the Robbins name carries on the heritage of always pushing beyond the toughest challenges. And though we’re proud of the legacy that the Robbins name represents, we’re ultimately focused on the future of the underground industry. Our name represents an ongoing commitment to never back down, always push ahead, and continue to work side by side with our partners and customers to realize the next era of underground accomplishments. We’re proud to say that Robbins is still the most trusted name in the industry.

In 2021, Global TBM Company, newly established by long-time Robbins President Lok Home, purchased all the assets of The Robbins Company while retaining the Robbins name, quality equipment, and top-notch staff. 

With nearly 70 years of innovation and experience, Robbins is the world’s foremost developer and manufacturer of advanced, underground construction machinery.  Robbins has been involved in over one thousand tunnel boring projects around the world. Today Robbins offers an extensive range of underground excavation equipment, whether you need to drive a 13 m diameter road tunnel through mixed ground, or a 600 mm diameter utility line in abrasive, hard rock.

Who is the Robbins team? We are trusted, proven, and respected engineers and technicians with decades of experience in the tunneling industry. From project design to tunnel completion, we are by your side to ensure that our products succeed in finishing your underground project on schedule. At the core of Robbins is a driven group of people dedicated to the success of our client partners from the design phase of each project through to breakthrough and beyond. We enjoy becoming part of your team and working together to shatter old concepts, create new methods, and set records in underground excavation.
