Marcel Debaes was a flax processor. In 1970 he decided to transport the flax instead of processing it. He had his own truck and trailer and could arrange the transport for his collegues. At the beginning he transported mostly flax products such as unprocessed flax and gelatinized flax husk that served as pet food.
In 1971 he took over a transport permit and this was the offical beginning of Debatrans.
When his son Eric turned 21 years old a second truck was bought and more products were transported such as polypropylene. This was a waste product of the carpet industry.
In 2015 the third generation started : Bart DeBaes. The family company was once again expanded : 3 new trailers were purchased to transport all kinds of goods. From then on Debatrans could even offer a wider range of services at all times.
