Work has started on a new facility for 172 Bomag Americas in South Carolina. The groundbreaking ceremony was held in Ridgeway, at the future site of the firm’s new North American headquarters. The new facility will house spare parts warehousing and a machine assembly area along with office space. It is due for completion in October 2014, when Bomag will begin the move from its current headquarters in Illinois.

Bomag chose the location, situated within 50km from Columbia and 112km of Charlotte in North Carolina, to boost product and service support for its customers and distribution network. Walter Link, president of Bomag Americas commented that the location provides for good transport logistics, easing the supply of parts and equipment. Charlotte’s international airport allows for fast deliveries while the site lies close to the I-77 highway. “We congratulate Bomag on their announcement of an $18.2 million investment and the creation of 121 new jobs,” commented South Carolina governor Nikki Haley.

Bomag manufactures and markets a broad range of light and heavy compaction, asphalt paving, and soil stabilisation and asphalt reclamation equipment. Last year’s acquisition of Cedarapids commercial and mainline pavers and material transfer equipment as well as CMI reclaimer/stabilisers expanded its equipment offering to road building contractors.
