BOMAG Celebrates the 100th Compact Planer

In early September BOMAG celebrated the production of the 100th BM 500 compact milling machine at the company’s headquarters in Boppard, Germany. At a special celebration, Jean-Claude Fayat, general manager of the FAYAT Group, congratulated the milling team and re-emphasised the Group's sustainable strategy for cold milling machines.

“In the two and half years since market launch, one in three milling machines sold in the 130 hp class is now made by BOMAG – an achievement which makes me very pleased and of which we can be proud”, said Jean-Claude Fayat in his speech. In a short presentation Markus Lang, product manager of BOMAG cold milling machines, showed the latest sales figures in the various markets. Although BOMAG compact milling machines are being used all over the world, Germany is still one of the main sales markets and the benchmark for future developments in this product segment. “I believe that global success can only be achieved if you are also successful in the domestic market. The German sales figures are extremely important to us”, emphasised Mr. Fayat.

These results do not mean that anyone at BOMAG is complacent. The pace still moves rapidly in the cold milling division as the success of the BM 500 and BM 600 is followed by the next project. “We are currently in the trial phase with our new milling machine, model BM 1000/35, and will begin series production shortly. And of course we will be looking for a similar result as we have achieved with the compact milling machines,” explains Ralf Junker, BOMAG managing director Production.
