With its motto “Productivity Partnership for a Lifetime” in mind, the Ammann Group has already taken the first steps to conquering the sub-Saharan market.

THE COMPANY gears its activities to the needs and requirements of its customers. “No matter the type or the number of projects that our customers have, with our broad range of products and our drive towards customer service, we aim to be one step ahead of our competitors,” says Rocco Lehman, general manager of Ammann South Africa.

“As with our products, our customer range is also broad and we know very well that every time our asphalt plants and machines prove their quality under tough conditions, we earn another point in the competitive edge race. Although our main activity is in the construction industry, we like to consider ourselves in the service industry as well. It is never right to make a sale and then disappear. We provide a well-structured customer service, which is one of our core responsibilities.”

Ammann’s constant improvements ensure it offers the latest technologies and the “partnership”. “By doing so, we create an additional value for our customers” adds Lehman. It should be pointed out that Ammann is the only manufacturer of asphalt mixing plants to develop and produce all the systems components (including controls, screens, dryers, burners, mixers and filters) in-house. This feature enables Ammann to offer the best solutions to its customers.

Ammann’s comprehensive range of compaction and road building equipment services the needs of customers in the road building, construction, plant hire and mining industries. Also in this range are the specialist trench compactor and the add-on compactor range. In addition, these products will service the pipe laying and special compaction application customers. Ammann Compaction Expert (ACE) has put the company at the forefront of intelligent compaction of soil and asphalt with both the ACE Force and ACE Pro systems. “The Ammann system is the only system that can change amplitude and frequency automatically, which makes this system extremely user-friendly,”points out Lehman.

Ammann Construction Machinery South Africa has been operational for more than two years, although Ammann has been in existence for more than 140 years and involved in the South African market for the past 25 years. The company prides itself as being the leader in asphalt technology and is a leading global supplier of mixing plants, machines and services to the construction industry, with core expertise in road building. Ammann offers products and services that meet customer expectations and distinguishes itself from the competition through greater customer benefit.

The company expresses its values of independence, sustainability, credibility, quality, commitment and flexibility through its actions towards customers, employees, suppliers and the general public.
