Attendees strolling through roadbuilding equipment manufacturer Ammann’s outdoor lot at ConExpo 2026 were treated to a surprise. The company’s usual aqua and chartreuse-yellow color scheme is being officially phased out.

Instead, several machines at Ammann’s booth were sporting a new yellow and gray paint job specifically for the company’s North American market, which Amman says is driven by customer preference.

For a look at the Ammann machines at ConExpo 2026 with the new color scheme, scroll to the end of this article.

The color change will affect Ammann America’s full product line, including soil and asphalt compactors, trench rollers and pavers. The new colors will be introduced over time and appear on North American deliveries going forward.

It reflects what North American customers want and expect. It also aligns our brand more closely with the heavy compaction and paving applications that define this market.”

Perkins also said the color change signals Ammann’s long-term commitment to the North American market.
