In 2002, Dimitri decides to become an independent and he buys his first wheel crane in the name of “Grondwerken Dimitri Pauwels”. At first, he works mainly as a subcontractor. But soon, he finds out that this work is his passion. And in 2005, his father, Willy, also becomes enthusiastic.  He closes the doors of his butcher’s shop and buys a truck and so he starts, together with Dimitri, "Pauwels & Son Ltd".

 

During the years, the machinery is expanding, wheel crane, crawler crane 18T, crawler crane 25T, tipper truck 6x4 , mini crane 5.5T, semitrailer 6x4, flatbed trailer 6x4, tractor, soil transporting chart, salt spreaders, snow blades, wheel loader, .... .

 

Dimitri designs, with the help of a friend, a machine to break concrete roads. Early 2011, he buys a similar existing machine and orders for a new and heavier machine to be build, so thicker concrete can be broken.

 

Early 2012, a second company “Pauwels Roadbreaking Ltd” is started. 

 

Today, the company consists of Dimitri and his father, Willy, 4 full time laborers and two part time administrative employees, his sister Cynthia and his wife Heidi.
