With a future-oriented and sustainable vision, Pieter De Brabandere is changing the face of his business. He wants to transform it from a concrete service provider to a sustainable producer.
Concrete plant De Brabandere has been making ready-mixed concrete for four generations now. Concrete consists of three crucial ingredients: sand, aggregates and binders (cement).
