About us
We develop innovative solutions for the drilling industry since 1994. Our purpose is to develop equipment that is reliable, accurate and easy to use. Providing the best solutions in HDD is not what we do, but what we are.
30+ years of experience
Brownline was founded in the Netherlands in 1994. At that time, horizontal drilling was performed using magnetic tools. Innovative thinking and extensive drilling expertise laid the foundation for the initial developments.
A major milestone was achieved in 2006, when the Drillguide Gyro Steering Tool became operational. Since then, other groundbreaking solutions for successful drilling have followed.
Even after more than 30 years, we continue to look forward and seek new or improved solutions to support the HDD industry. Why? Because Brownline strives to be and remain the leading and most reliable provider of underground guidance systems with the highest accuracy.
In-house development of all Drillguide tools
From the very beginning, our in-house engineers have been striving to make Drillguide tools even more innovative. And they have succeeded. By developing our own Drillguide Gyro Steering Tool, Drillguide Wireless Steering Tool, GPS track, Radar, UXOscope and Weight-on-Bit, Brownline makes it possible to drill quickly, efficiently and with very high accuracy in complex conditions.
A dedicated team of software, hardware, and electrical engineers work together to enhance our state-of-the-art products. Through critical thinking, frequent testing, and continuous innovation, they have developed a system that is unique in the world.

Do we walk on clogs?
There is a common perception abroad that many Dutch people walk on clogs. And indeed, there are more typical customs. The Dutch are down-to-earth, drink coffee with a biscuit and on April 27th The Netherlands turns orange to celebrate the King's birthday.
But we are also reliable, disciplined, enterprising, and knowledgeable. All these characteristics can still be found at Brownline.
Do we walk on clogs? Yes, sometimes we do. Because clogs are Brownline's funniest gadget, and our customers love them.
