ABG

Ingersoll-Rand acquired ABG Verwaltungs GmbH of Germany in 1990 and Blaw-Knox in 1995 to become the world’s largest paving equipment supplier. All highway-class paving equipment in IR’s line now wears a signature IR beige color, which is the construction organization’s global branding identity.

In February 2007, Ingersoll-Rand accepted an offer of $1.3 billion from Volvo for the road construction equipment division, including the Blaw-Knox brand and the ABG brand.
