1990 Kiefner and Associates was founded by John F. Kiefner upon his retirement of a 23 year career with Battelle. John saw the rising need for engineering and technical services on the part of pipeline operators and realized that a small, flexible consulting firm could help to fill that need.

2011 Kiefner becomes part of Applus RTD, fueling growth of the business while maintaining focus on delivery of the highest possible standard of service in every discipline.
