In 2020, 18 AEMA member plants applied for and were awarded the Asphalt Emulsion Manufacturer’s Association (AEMA) Excellence in Manufacturing Award.

The AEMA Excellence in Manufacturing Award is presented to qualifying plants that meet or exceed AEMA requirements demonstrating best practices in all areas of manufacturing.
