history

In 1869, Jakob Ammann founded his own workshop in Switzerland and continuously expanded the product range in the following years. In 1911 Ammann developed the first motorized road roller. After the First World War, in 1931, the first steps were taken abroad and in the same year Ammann signed an agency agreement with Caterpillar for Switzerland.

In 1984 Ammann took over the bankruptcy assets of the Alfelder Eisenwerke in Germany and still produces asphalt mixing plants at their location . Ammann also bought the Duomat company in Germany (manufacturer of light compression equipment) from the bankruptcy assets of the IBH Holding, which went bankrupt in 1983 . In 1989, the Ammann- Yanmar joint venture was founded in France to manufacture compact excavators . Six years later, Ammann took over the German trench roller manufacturer Rammax . In 2005, the production of asphalt mixing plants started at the new location in Shanghai. In the same year, the Czech Stavostroj , which produces heavy tandem rollers , was taken over .
