1961-1969: Pioneer and entrepreneur

The pioneer lays the foundation as an entrepreneur in road construction

Reinhard Wirtgen worked very hard to set up and build a contracting business. He started out with small haulage jobs and then specialized in road construction using a concrete breaker. With his staff of ten, he continuously improved three of these machines in a small workshop in Windhagen.

The beginnings of the company

Transportation orders were completed with an own truck.

1965

The concrete breaker enabled Reinhard Wirtgen to leave the haulage business behind and become a contractor in road construction.

1968

Reinhard Wirtgen’s first workshop in Windhagen.

As he and his crew successfully completed an ever-increasing number of jobs, concrete demolition became very quickly known throughout Germany as a method used in road rehabilitation.
