Ammann India delivers first ABG Paver and enhances
service infrastructure
Ammann India achieved a significant
milestone in its growth and integration journey with the successful roll-out of
its first ABG Pave ABG 5420 Tracked
Paver (Tier 3) from the newly commissioned assembly line at its
state-of-the-art Ditasan manufacturing facility
in Gujarat. This landmark event marks the completion of the ABG Paver
business integration into Ammann India and reinforces the company’s commitment
to the Government of India’s ‘Make in India for the World’ vision. The roll-out
reflects Ammann's strategic focus on localization, innovation, and delivering
globally benchmarked road construction solutions from India.
The
ceremonial launch was led by Mr. Bernd Holz, Executive Vice President, ABG
General Management, and Mr. Dheeraj Panda, Managing Director, Ammann India,
along with other senior leadership members. The Indian construction sector is
undergoing rapid transformation, driven by major government-led infrastructure
programs such as Bharatmala, PM Gati Shakti, and the Smart Cities Mission.
With
the addition of the new facility, Ammann will be better positioned to cater to
the growing demand for technologically advanced, fuel-efficient, and
emission-compliant road construction machinery. The ABG 5420, compliant with
Tier 3 emission standards, is well-suited to meet the needs of Indian
contractors who prioritize performance, reliability, and sustainability in an
increasingly regulated environment.
Simultaneously,
the ABG 5420 Paver has been engineered to cater to international markets, especially in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, as a strategic export
base, bridging the global need for Tier 3-compliant, adaptable pavers at
competitive pricing.
In
the days ahead, more pavers for both domestic and foreign markets will be
produced, putting the business in a position to cater to a wider range of
clients in different geographic areas.
Ammann
India additionally unveiled a dedicated ABG warehouse at the same Ditasan
location, which is more than 10,000 square feet in size and has an extra 2,000+
square feet for material staging operations, adding to the day's significance.
Advanced material handling systems that can support up to 1,200 kg per shelf
and a complex multi-level racking system with an 8-level stacking capacity for
almost 1,800 SKUs are features of the facility. With its strategic layout
intended for future growth and scalable operations, this warehouse greatly
improves the company's production requirements as well as aftermarket parts
support capabilities for ABG products by offering quick parts availability,
optimized material flow, shortened delivery times, and improved service
response.
Speaking
on the occasion, Mr. Dheeraj Panda
Managing Director – Ammann India remarked, “The roll-out of the first ABG
Paver from Ditasan and the commissioning of a dedicated warehouse are strong
testaments to our commitment to localization, operational excellence, and
customer service. These milestones will play a pivotal role in accelerating our
ABG growth journey in India while boosting our capabilities as a global
manufacturing and export hub.”
Both these announcements reinforce Ammann India’s strategic focus on manufacturing innovation, localized excellence, and customer-centric service infrastructure, enabling the company to serve both domestic and global markets with agility and precision.
