About APAM

Who We Are
The Asphalt Pavement Association of Michigan is a nonprofit trade association representing the Hot Mix Asphalt industry in Michigan. On June 8, 2005, the Boards of Directors of the Michigan Asphalt Pavement Association (MAPA) and the Michigan Pavement Association (MPA) approved the merger of their respective organizations to form the Asphalt Pavement Association of Michigan (APAM).

Organized in 1950, MAPA's fifty-eight members included Asphalt Pavement producers and paving contractors and related industry materials, equipment and service providers. MPA was founded in 2000 and its thirteen members were located throughout the state.

APAM Contractor members are the leading Asphalt Pavement manufacturers and paving contractors in the State. Behind each contractor is a tremendous investment in equipment, a highly skilled work force and a pride of workmanship in building asphalt pavements of the highest quality.
