Keller Group

Keller Group plc () is a large independent geotechnical solutions specialist. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange.

History
The company was established in the 1950s as the ground engineering division of GKN plc. In 1960, it expanded into a stand-alone piling and ground improvement company and, in 1975, it acquired the German company Johann Keller and took on that name. In 1984 Keller bought Hayward Baker Inc., a US ground engineering business. In 1990 it was the subject of a management buy-out from GKN plc supported by Candover and it was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in May 1994. In 2007, the company sold its social housing division for nominal consideration; also in 2007 the company acquired HJ Foundation for £24.5 million.
