Boart Longyear’s 125th anniversary is dedicated to all the people who built – and continue to build and
support – this fine company.
We have had the privilege of driving the growth and success of the drilling industry for more than 125 years. We remain driven by the challenge of finding ways to contribute to the success of our customers, some of whom we have supported for nearly a century, and to lead our industry into its next century of innovation and safety improvements. As we celebrate our past, we are moving confidently toward the future.
