Ranger North’s two asphalt plants, in Winter
Garden and Debary, FL, have earned certificates of quality from
the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA).
New this year, the Diamond Quality Commendation recognizes the
many factors that go into producing high-quality asphalt
products: Quality Management; RAP (Recycled Asphalt Pavement)
and Aggregate Handling; Asphalt Storage; Drying and Mixing; Air
Quality; Truck Scales; Silos; and Control Rooms.
Ranger North is also a regular recipient of NAPA’s Diamond
Achievement Commendation, as are all the Vecellio Group companies and
divisions that operate asphalt plants. The Diamond Achievement
Commendation focuses on plant safety, environmental
compliance and community involvement.
