Our history of progress
Our origin 50+ years ago and evolution since then have made us the company we are today. Take a look at our rich and colorful history.
We have a rich history, and a bright future.
Golder started in 1960 in Canada with the lofty ambition of being a modestly successful, high-quality, “niche” market company focused on ground engineering.
Through the early 1970s, we established operations in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia while doing project work around the world. Today we have over 165 offices in six continents, offering expanded services in environmental planning, design, and ground engineering that address the growing needs of our clients for our specialized expertise.
It has taken bold leadership and countless contributions from people around the world to become the company we are today. We’re proud of where we’ve been. And we’re excited by where we’re going next.
