FAYAT has acquired a controlling interest in Asphalt Drum Mixers LLC (ADM), based in Huntertown, Ind., which manufactures asphalt plants and components for contractors and asphalt producers worldwide.

Through the acquisition of ADM, FAYAT further strengthens its strategic position in the road construction and maintenance equipment segment.

ADM is joining the FAYAT Mixing Plants business unit, which includes the brands ERMONT, a worldwide leader in continuous mixing plants, and MARINI a worldwide leader in batch mixing plants. The acquisition of ADM allows FAYAT to expand its strategic position in North America, by leveraging synergies with the following brands already present in the asphalt business: BOMAG, DYNAPAC and SECMAIR.

Being a family-owned business with decades of experience in the road construction and maintenance equipment business, the FAYAT Group will provide ADM with the backing to be a growing and long-term dependable partner for its customers, the company said.

Moreover, to ensure continuity and an effective transition, the Boyd-Devine family will remain as a minority owner and Mike Devine remains as president of ADM, a position he has served since 2004.

Under the FAYAT umbrella of companies, ADM will operate as an autonomous manufacturer continuing to market its products under the brand ADM. ADM also will continue to provide its customers with long-lasting solutions to meet the custom requirements of every job, from planning to production to service after the sale.

In the development of future technologies, ADM will collaborate with other companies within the FAYAT Group to offer customers the best solutions for tomorrow's challenges.

"This acquisition is a great opportunity for the FAYAT Group and its customers, as ADM is a key player in the road construction equipment market in North America, with a highly recognized brand," said Jean-Claude Fayat, president of the FAYAT Group.

"ADM has an excellent strategic place in our group, and we plan to grow and expand its presence and product offering. We will leverage its expertise and technologies together with our existing portfolio to continuously develop equipment that closely addresses our customers' needs."

"We are very happy to join the FAYAT family and have already seen many opportunities to grow ADM and to offer more and better solutions to our customers," said Mike Devine, president of ADM. "We look forward to a long-lasting partnership with the FAYAT Group."
