Red Dot recognition for Ammann

Switzerland-based equipment manufacturer Ammann has earned three coveted Red Dot Awards for outstanding product design.

“We are honoured by the awards,” said Hans-Christian Schneider, CEO of Ammann Group.

“Our customers know there is a great deal of thought and effort behind each and every Ammann product. These awards are further proof of that.”

Ammann won Red Dot Awards for the APH 110-95, a three-shaft hydrostatic vibratory plate compactor; the Rammax 1575 trench roller; and the ARX 90 articulated tandem roller.

An international jury of 38 design professionals from 25 countries evaluated the products and chose the winners from among nearly 5,000 entries.

On the APH 110-95, the jury said. “A high level of functionality and performance characterises this high-performance compactor, which attracts attention due to its distinctive lines.”

In another statement, it said: “The ARX 90 is logically designed from an ergonomic viewpoint and at the same time displays a distinctive, independent appearance.”

Regarding the trench roller, the jury commented: “With its functional, compact and robust form, the Rammax 1575 imparts the impression of strength and reliability.”
