Milestone moments since 1976

Interactive Frontend Timeline Element tracking key innovations and corporate milestones from 1976 to now

1976

Dynatest is founded in 1976 by three passionate souls. Mark Hayven, Richard Stubstad, and Anders Sørensen. They meet a few years earlier during their studies at the Danish Technical University in Copenhagen. Their ambition is to develop innovative pavement evaluation equipment.

1977

During the first couple of years, the small team spend most of their time improving the equipment and the technology they are working on. One of the results is the Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD), which is the first actual product Dynatest develops.

1978

The industry is showing more and more interest in Dynatest - and so are international clients. One of the three founders, Mark Hayven, wants to return to the US after several years in Denmark. Trusting that the American market brings many opportunities, Dynatest opens the doors to the first office in the United States, more specifically in Ojai, California.

1980

The first Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) hits the market. The FWD offers automated and rapid structural pavement testing applicable to pavements all over the world.

1987

In 1987, Dynatest introduces the Heavy Weight Deflectometer (HWD). The HWD is allowing Dynatest to expand its possibilities by offering testing equipment for airports.

1997

One of the first Heavy Vehicle Simulators (HVS) manufactured is for the client VTT Finland & Vägverket in Finland. The giant machine is used for accelerated pavement testing.

1999

In the late ’90s, Dynatest enters the “mature” profiling market developing the Road Surface Profiler (RSP). The equipment quickly becomes a success offering excellent quality and reliability.

2002

In 2002, Dynatest purchases the profiling and friction divisions of KJ Law and expands the business areas.

2015

In 2015, Dynatest introduces the Fast Falling Weight Deflectometer (FFWD). The new version of the FWD is electronic and mechanical and five times faster per drop than the regular FWD.

2016

In 2016, Dynatest is celebrating the brand’s 40th birthday. With profound experience and expertise, Dynatest is market-leading within the pavement engineering industry.

2019

Dynatest becomes a part of Eltronic Group. From the headquarters in Ballerup, Denmark, the company is now entering a new phase, in which the focus turns to strengthen the organization, deliveries, and revenue.

Today

During 2020 and 2021, Dynatest is busy getting up to speed. Despite the corona pandemic, Dynatest is shipping many orders to clients worldwide. In 2020, the US office moves into new facilities in Gainesville, Florida from where we serve clients around the globe.
