OUR HISTORY

• Established by Forward Thinking Visionaries
• Tunnell Consulting was founded in 1962 during a time of rapid economic expansion. A core group of forward-thinking experts provided consulting services for strategic planning, manufacturing and industrial engineering, and Total Quality Management (TQM) projects. Serving a wide range of clients, from transportation to life sciences, they formed the foundation of what is today’s Tunnell Consulting.
• Tunnell recognized a growing need for technical support and process improvement. In response, Tunnell developed Six-Sigma capabilities which – along with operational excellence, Lean tools and proprietary methodologies – are still at the core of the business.
• Tunnell became an ESOP when Ken Tunnell sold the company to the employees.
• Focusing Exclusively on the Life Sciences
• Extensive capabilities in life sciences led Tunnell into consulting within the critical life sciences and biomedical R&D segments of the Federal Government. As pandemic disease preparedness and bioterrorism became critical issues, Tunnell began to increase its work with the DHHS, DOD and other federal agencies, forming our Government Services subsidiary.
• Continuous Growth
