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.
