About us
Cone Penetration Test equipment bearing our name can be found all over the world—a testament to more than 55 years of innovation, quality, and reliability. In 1968, Arie Pieter van den Berg laid the foundation for our family business, guided by his personal mission to design intelligent CPT systems as an independent engineer. What began as a personal ambition has grown into a global leader in the development, production, and supply of high-quality technology for geotechnical soil investigation.
55 Years in the Market
From our base in Heerenveen, The Netherlands, around 70 employees work every day to develop innovative solutions for onshore, offshore, and nearshore applications. All our CPT products are designed and manufactured in-house, ensuring the highest levels of quality and reliability.
The innovative spirit of our founder, Arie Pieter van den Berg, continues to drive the company. Technological development never stands still at A.P. van den Berg. For example, we have been delivering systems with digital data transfer for over 15 years and introduced the successful Track-Truck for onshore CPT nearly 40 years ago. In the offshore sector, our ROSON and WISON-APB systems have been market leaders since the 1980s.
Today, our systems are in use all over the world. From Track-Trucks and CPT Crawlers for challenging terrains to ROSON and WISON-APB systems enabling reliable offshore CPTs at depths of up to 4,000 meters, our technology continues to set the standard. What started with a single engineer has grown into a globally operating family business—and one principle remains unchanged: innovation never stops at A.P. van den Berg.
