At the April 17th Recycling Seminar, Ammann India showcased a groundbreaking commitment to environmental responsibility, technological advancement, and skill development—leading India's road construction industry into a sustainable future.

With the goal of achieving 100% asphalt recycling, Ammann is transforming the way roads are built—saving natural resources, reducing emissions, and lowering construction costs, all while delivering high-performance solutions tailored to India's diverse geography.

Eco-Innovation in Action:

• 100% Asphalt Recycling Vision: Ammann is among the first in India to manufacture plants capable of handling up to 60% Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP), aiming for 100% in the near future.

• RAH Systems & Rejuvenators: Allow high levels of recycling by restoring flexibility to aged bitumen, reducing the use of new aggregates and bitumen.

• Foam Bitumen Technology: Enables low-temperature asphalt production (under 150°C), leading to significant fuel savings and lower carbon emissions.

• Low-Emission Burners: Minimize environmental impact during production.

Next-Gen Technology:

• AS1 Software: Ammann’s proprietary software ensures accurate, high-quality mix control.

• IoT Integration: Real-time monitoring via mobile apps improves plant efficiency, performance, and predictive maintenance.

• Data Transparency: Plant performance data is uploaded to government servers for NHAI/state projects, ensuring transparency and regulatory compliance.

India’s Largest Operator Training Academy:

• Ammann Academy: Certified by NSDC and operated under ISKI India, it provides hands-on simulator training for asphalt plants and pavers.

• Three-Tiered Learning Model: Custom programs for operators, mid-management, and top executives ensure full organizational understanding and adoption.

• Simulator Training: Real-world fault simulations help operators master troubleshooting without risking equipment damage.

• National Apprenticeship Program: Trains 100+ apprentices annually through practical, job-ready programs.

Local Execution, Global Quality:

• 95% Indigenized Manufacturing: Ammann’s 37-acre Mehsana factory processes over 1,800 tons of steel monthly—supporting India’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision.

• 1,000+ Direct Jobs & 600+ Vendor Partnerships: Boosts employment and strengthens the domestic supply chain.

• 13 Direct Depots & Nationwide Offices: Ensures fast service, spare parts, and training access across India—even in remote regions.

Commitment to Sustainability:

• Circular Economy Focus: Even without mandates, Ammann drives green innovation—because "mountains don’t grow back."

• Electric Equipment Roadmap: Proactively developing electric rollers and tandem compactors for future-ready construction.

• Aligning with Viksit Bharat 2047 & COP26 Goals: Contributing to India’s long-term net-zero and infrastructure objectives.

“If we don’t recycle, we’ll end up erasing nature itself. It’s not just innovation—it’s our responsibility.”
