a ValuaBle PartnershiP<br />
Ammann Compaction has experienced<br />
above-average growth over the past<br />
20 years. Globalisation has resulted in<br />
subsidiaries <strong>and</strong> trade partnerships on every<br />
continent that support the main claim of the<br />
Swiss company to provide the appropriate<br />
service for every machine delivered<br />
In response to the dem<strong>and</strong> for greater<br />
production capacity, the company’s<br />
shareholders decided to make appropriate<br />
investments to implement the growth phases<br />
<strong>and</strong> secure its outst<strong>and</strong>ing know-how. The<br />
specialist for walk-behind double vibratory<br />
rollers <strong>and</strong> vibratory plates in Hennef,<br />
the globally established market leader for<br />
vibratory trench rollers Rammax in Metzingen<br />
(both in Germany), <strong>and</strong> finally, in 2005, the<br />
specialist for single drum rollers in Nove<br />
Mesto, Czech Republic, were the acquisitions<br />
that, in addition to rapid organic growth,<br />
have made Ammann one of the world’s<br />
leading manufacturers of a complete range of<br />
compaction machines.<br />
In 2011, Ammann can look back on 100<br />
successful years of building compaction<br />
rollers, vibratory plates <strong>and</strong> rammers that are<br />
in use around the world <strong>and</strong> represent the<br />
foundation of many valuable partnerships<br />
with road-building companies <strong>and</strong> retail<br />
dealerships. Revolutionary development<br />
is a continuous challenge to Ammann’s<br />
engineers in their search for more economical<br />
drive solutions <strong>and</strong> more effective vibration<br />
technology. Respect for the environment is<br />
the driving force behind Ammann’s research<br />
into conservative <strong>and</strong> safe alternatives, <strong>and</strong><br />
every employee contributes towards tackling<br />
these dem<strong>and</strong>ing challenges.<br />
