Making its first marks

Pioneering spirit — The 1960s

The first steps are always the hardest, but after a few early successes, the ambitious pioneer soon had a reliable team he could depend on. His ten employees eagerly supported him and shared his visions: outstanding machines, innovative technologies, premium services in road construction. His customers placed their trust in him and WIRTGEN began to pave the way along its road to success.
