History

Hansen Yuncken was founded in Melbourne, Australia in 1918 by Otto Yuncken and Lauritz Hansen.[3]

In 1925, the company opened a regional branch in Shepparton, Victoria. In 2006 it opened an office in Albury-Wodonga to service regional Victoria and Southern New South Wales. In 1937, Hansen Yuncken expanded into Hobart, Tasmania, then in 1939 an office in Adelaide, South Australia.

The late 1960s saw the opening of its Northern Territory office. A permanent presence was maintained until 2000, at which time it was decided to target only the larger projects in the region. The company also operated an office in Queensland in the early 80s; in 2007 started in Cairns and in 2009 opened an office in Townsville.

In 1989, the company commenced operations in New South Wales, initially in joint venture, but now operating in its own right. In 2006 Hansen and Yuncken opened an office in Newcastle to serve the Hunter Region.

In 2010 the grandson of Lauritz Hansen, Peter, announced his retirement as chairman of the company. Peter Hansen's son Richard was due to take on a greater management role.[1]
