Apollo asphalt pavers won a prestigious award at the annual “Equipment India Awards 2016” function held March 16 in New Delhi.

The award, “Best Seller — Asphalt Finishers,” was presented by the Chairman of the National Highway Authority of India. The award is based on sales using the most recent available comprehensive data.

“Your company’s selection for this calendar year in this product category is a prestigious accomplishment as it validates your product supremacy in this category,” wrote Pratap Padode, Managing Director of ASAPP Info Global Group, which publishes a number of magazines, including Construction World, Equipment India, Infrastructure Today and Indian Cement Review.

The data was gathered by Off-Highway Research, ASAPP’s knowledge partners. The data was further vetted by a jury of industry experts who confirmed Ammann Apollo is the clear market leader in the asphalt paver segment.

The paver award comes only a few months after Apollo announced an expansion plan for its manufacturing facilities in Ahmedabad, India.

“Apollo’s philosophy is to be a total solutions provider. As such, Apollo is preparing to launch their heavy compaction line for India,” said Sunil Sapru, Regional Director of Sales and Marketing for Apollo in India. “Apollo can now offer the complete range of products for road construction, asphalt plants and pavers, as well as soil, tandem and pneumatic tyre compactors.”
