BOMAG Aquires ProPaver Equipment

KEWANEE, Ill. – BOMAG Americas acquired Gilcrest’s ProPaver division, which includes five self-propelled, tracked asphalt pavers and four towable, wheeled asphalt pavers, widths varying from 4 to 15 feet. All products are available immediately, marketed under the ProPaver by BOMAG brand name.

“The ProPaver acquisition broadens our product offering for asphalt applications and gives BOMAG a complementary product for its line of compaction equipment,” said Mike Simpkns, president, BOMAG Americas. “This product line extension will increase the value of the BOMAG franchise to distributors, while our customers will enjoy the convenience of being able to acquire both pavers and compaction equipment from a single source.”

ProPaver products will continue to be manufactured at its Warrensburg, Mo., office, the building now designated as BOMAG Paving Products. Dan Taylor, ProPaver’s general manager, will oversee operations.
