Our mission
It was Johannes De Cloedt, a flemish civil contractor, who in 1875, took the step from shore to water and started to specialise in hydraulic works, mainly maintenance dredging works in Ostend.
The De Cloedt family built up a lot of experience in aggregate and maintenance dredging as well as hydraulic en civil works during this 150 years.
In 1981 the family started an aggregate company in the harbour of Nieuwpoort (Belgium). Later on new waterbound aggregate terminals were established in the maritime ports of Ostend and Bruges. Since the mid 1990's Group De Cloedt followed with great interest the evolution and growth of the inland waterways traffic in Europe. De Cloedt's first inland terminal was operational in 1997.
In the year 2000, ir. Gery De Cloedt, started to shape his Group. Nowadays Group De Cloedt comprises 5 divisions : Dredging, Aggregates, ready-mixed Concrete, Environment and Soil Cleaning and Offshore sevices. On top of that Group De Cloedt also developped internationally thanks to the acquisition and or establishment of new companies in France, The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, Norway and Denmark, Germany, Poland, Latvia.
