The Witels plant hiring company was founded in 1969 in the beautiful Slanghoek Valley near Worcester. The family business originally operated under the name Le Roux Broers and served the farming community of the Worcester area. The company was later rechristened as the namesake of one of the oldest farms in Slanghoek, Witelsrivier. In May 2001, Jaco Le Roux became the managing director of the newly-formed Witels Toerusting and under his leadership the company quickly established itself as the preferred plant hire supplier in the Breede Valley District. The company grew rapidly by adhering to its core values of paying attention to detail, providing knowledgeable and cost-effective solutions and by employing and empowering well-trained operators. Witels has developed immensely and is now a diverse company also specializing in civil engineering services such as dam building and repairs, road construction, storm water management, township development, water and waste management facilities and more. In 2016, rapid growth warranted the founding of three separate entities and thus Witels Earthmoving, Witels Hiring and Witels Civil was born. By focusing the mission of each brand, we ensure the core principles of the original company are nurtured and we are able to pursue new business avenues with the necessary focus and vigour. The group boasts a proud, stable workforce of 36 permanent staff members, six of whom have been with us since the inception of the company. We are also proud to employ more than one generation of some of our employees’ families. Together, we pursue our vision with total commitment and we strive to transform any venture we embark on into a booming success and a reflection of our workforce’s dedication.
