The pioneer: Reinhard Wirtgen lays the foundation

Reinhard Wirtgen's name is inextricably tied to a success story that is beyond compare. Just turned 18, he founds a haulage company in 1961 for transporting construction materials. The young man is a passionate entrepreneur. He pursues his vision with a tremendous amount of pioneering spirit and much daring. The one-man business of that time has become a renowned global player of the Wirtgen Group today, employing a total staff of 5,000.
