September 11th through the 17th is National Driver Appreciation week; a time dedicated to showing our respect and gratitude to all professional truck drivers for the hard work they do.
We ask that everyone takes a moment to recognize the men and women on whom we depend on to deliver our food, medical supplies, goods and materials that keep America running.
When you see a truck driver, take the time to say thanks!

Asphalt Materials, Inc.’s (AMI) Indianapolis headquarters is hosting a Snack Pack Kit Build on August 10. Distributed through Second Helpings, a local Indianapolis hunger relief agency, Kids Snack Pack Kits provide nutritious snacks for children experiencing food insecurities.
Our goal is to donate 1000 Snack Packs to Second Helpings and currently and we are recruiting team members to help achieve this goal.
This event is part of a larger initiative of Asphalt Materials Inc., which is partnering with 20 United Ways across the Midwest on volunteer projects. The company’s Indianapolis location is partnering with United Way of Central Indiana for the August project. The business will host another project in November, at the same time, the company’s other locations will volunteer with their local United Ways over the course of one week.
United Way’s basic needs work helps provide Hoosiers with affordable housing, reliable transportation, access to healthcare services – and healthy food. The need is great: Nearly 40% of Indiana households cannot afford to meet their basic needs, according to United Way.
“We are so grateful for the partnership with AMI and their commitment to the communities they operate in,” said Ashley Furois, United Way’s vice president of workplace fundraising. “These kinds of volunteer opportunities make a real difference to families who are facing economic instability because it’s one less worry in a sea of overwhelming and difficult decisions they face every day.”
Volunteers for the August event will be building kits during the times listed below.
#AMISERVES means that the AMI team is committed to building a safer, more enriching and sustainable world in the communities where we live and work.

We celebrate Amelia Earhart as a pioneering woman of science, someone who participated in and promoted STEM education, much of it here in Indiana. In 1935, Earhart became a visiting faculty member at Purdue University as an advisor to aeronautical engineering and a career counselor to female students.
Being an Indiana company with deep roots stretching all the way back to 1930, you might imagine the connections with Purdue University are also deep-rooted. We are a company that is involved in construction, materials, chemicals, and environmental services with research and development across all of our businesses. These areas of parallel commonalities to a Purdue University STEM education are just a few reasons why these roots are so deep.
Our colleagues Megan Yount, from Heritage Research Group, and Dan Swiertz, from our Portage, WI location, will be presenting at the Asphalt Recycling & Reclaiming Association (ARRA) regional seminar. Join them Wednesday, August 17th at 8:15 AM as they discuss Pavement Preservation Techniques and give an overview on sustainability.

What do you like best about working at AMI?
The team atmosphere at AMI is the best. I am surrounded by talented, intelligent, and supportive teammates. AMI is the best company I’ve ever worked for – They care about their employees and their customers & focus on building strong relationships based on trust, instead of going after short-term wins.
