We are proud to spotlight NASTT’s 2017 No-Dig Show Silver Sponsor and Corporate Member, Akkerman!
Since 1973, Akkerman has developed, manufactured and supported quality pipe jacking and tunneling solutions that accurately install a variety of underground infrastructure. Akkerman is proud to be the only North American manufacturer of a variety of equipment and a recognized worldwide competitor.
Symmetry with contractors has been the backbone of Akkerman’s business and a point of distinction above their competition. Before Akkerman the equipment manufacturer, there was D.H. Akkerman Construction Company. In order to satisfy their own need to accurately install pipe under crossings, Akkerman Manufacturing was founded over forty years ago.
Akkerman offers small town values coupled with global perspective. Their business operates with the highest level of integrity and Akkerman employees have a personal investment in their customers’ success. Akkerman’s highly skilled sales team has a clear understanding of industry demands. Their in-house engineering department applies the most current standards and continually reviews, reassesses and enhances their equipment offerings.
Akkerman is commited to making every effort to position their equipment on your next pipe jacking or tunneling project.

We are proud to spotlight NASTT’s 2017 No-Dig Show Silver Sponsor 3M.
What was born as a small-scale mining venture in 1902 has grown into a global powerhouse whose products improve the daily lives of people around the world. When the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co.—as the company that would grow into 3M was known at the time—began more than a century ago, the five founders had a simple goal: to harvest a mineral known as corundum from a mine called Crystal Bay.
Ultimately, the mine didn’t produce much corundum, but something more important was born that year: the spirit of innovation and collaboration that forms the foundation of today’s 3M. The fledgling company turned to other materials and other products, building up sales little by little. Technical and marketing innovations began to produce success upon success. Today’s 3M is responsible for 60,000 products used in homes, businesses, schools, hospitals and more.
Today, one third of 3M’s sales come from products that were invented within the past five years. The company employs thousands of researchers and scientists around the world. With operations in 70 countries and sales in 200, the global 3M team is still committed to creating the technology and products that advance every company, enhance every home and improve every life.
