Ammann Celebrates 150th Anniversary

Ammann is marking a milestone anniversary by redoubling its efforts in the areas of technology and sustainability – two driving forces behind its first 150 years of success.
“Like the rest of the world, Ammann has seen a great many changes in the last 150 years,” said CEO Hans-Christian Schneider, a direct descendant of Jakob Ammann, who founded the company in 1869. “What hasn’t changed is our commitment to providing customers with products that offer solutions.”
Such solutions traditionally involve the use of technology. “All our products – from the lightest compactors to the largest asphalt and concrete mixing plants – rely on technology to help customers overcome the challenges they face on jobsites around the world,” Schneider said.
Often, those technological advancements have evolved over years or even decades. “Innovation at Ammann didn’t begin a few years ago,” Schneider said. “It has been a part of Ammann since its foundation.”
He pointed to a Macadam machine as just one example. Patented by Ammann in 1908, it produced and placed an early form of asphalt. “As we look back, we can see that this Macadam machine utilised what was revolutionary technology at the time,” Schneider said. “As we look ahead, we know that the focus on furthering technology must continue.” The Macadam machine, which eliminated a significant dust problem, was also an early nod toward sustainability. “The machine improved the environment around it,” Schneider said. “It was one of the first sustainability efforts in roadbuilding. Sustainability, like solution-oriented technology, is a common theme throughout the history of Ammann.”
Ammann products today are developed with sustainability as a top priority. Compaction equipment is built to reach distances in the remotest regions, thereby minimizing fuel burn and machine wear. Pavers feature automation that optimises material usage. Ammann asphalt and concrete mixing plants utilise technology that enables production from 100 per cent recycled materials.
“For a long time the company has been investing in the success of our customers and sustainable corporate growth, and our success is proof that such an approach works,” Schneider said. “Now, in our 150th year, we are very well positioned worldwide as we continue to rely on innovative products, customer focus and highly qualified employees.”
