Ammann

Ammann is primarily known as a surname of Germanic origin, found in German-speaking regions and among communities with historical ties to that linguistic area. As a family name, it has been carried by various individuals across different fields, including business, science, and the arts.

In addition to its use as a surname, Ammann is the name of a Swiss company group active in the construction equipment industry. The Ammann Group designs and manufactures equipment for road construction and civil engineering, including asphalt pavers, compactors, milling and recycling machines, and asphalt and concrete plants. The company operates on a global scale, with manufacturing facilities, distributors, and service centers that support infrastructure projects such as road resurfacing, highway construction, and urban development.

Ammann may also appear as a place name or part of a personal name in contexts influenced by migration and transliteration, but the most prominent contemporary uses are as a surname and as a corporate brand. The term thus spans personal identity and industrial branding, reflecting both individual lineage and the reach of Swiss manufacturing in the global construction sector.
