Brief Summary The paving, compacting and milling manufacturing industry builds niche market machinery that is notable for the weight and breadth of some of its larger pieces. It is a mature industry with long-standing iconic brands, some of them absorbed into umbrella groups. In shopping for a slipform paver or vibrating roller or micro-mill cold planer, the most vital piece of information a buyer can’t have is how he will most efficiently utilize the machine. With that knowledge in hand, a buyer can find the technology and configuration perfect for his task.
