History of Ammann

16 Mar, 2022

The history of Ammann is one of innovation. The dozens of patents the company has secured in its 150 years of existence prove this point.

The pursuit of innovation was already underway in 1908, when Ammann was granted a patent for a macadam machine – essentially a combination of an asphalt-mixing plant and a paver. The machine used what was a revolutionary technology at the time to eliminate an emerging health hazard – dust kicked up by automobiles.

Today’s progress rests solidly on that foundation, established decades ago. Technology is developed and continually improved to produce the machines, plants and services that help customers find solutions to daily challenges.

In today’s world, those solutions increasingly involve sustainability to safeguard our planet and its resources for future generations. Compaction equipment is built to reach targets in the fewest passes, thereby minimising fuel burn and machine wear. Pavers feature automation to optimise material usage. Ammann asphalt-and concrete-mixing plants utilise technology to enable production with extremely high percentages of recycled materials.

What path will Ammann follow in the next 150 years? For that answer, you need only look at our history of creating innovative products that help customers while protecting the world around us.
