Asphalt Paving Systems (APS) has established itself as a premier pavement preservation specialty construction company since its founding in 1985 by Bob Capoferri in Hammonton, New Jersey. Beginning with a modest setup consisting of a single piece of equipment and a handful of employees, APS has grown significantly by embracing innovation and commitment to quality. Over the decades, the company has made remarkable strides, particularly after they began manufacturing asphalt emulsions in the early 1990s. This led to the introduction of advanced pavement preservation services, including slurry seal and cold in-place recycling.
A significant moment in APS's history came in 1994 when Capoferri acquired the patent for Nova Chip, which allowed the company to broaden its geographical scope and expand its service offerings into heavy highway construction. By re-establishing the company in 2000 under the name Asphalt Paving Systems, they not only refined their business model but also set the stage for notable growth through strategic investments in state-of-the-art equipment and skilled labor.
With a track record that includes high-profile projects like the Brooklyn Bridge and major airports, APS has made a name for itself in both the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States. Their expansion continued into Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee, capped by the establishment of a state-of-the-art hot mix asphalt plant in 2021, positioning them as a key player in Florida's infrastructure market.
Today, in its fourth decade, Asphalt Paving Systems is dedicated to providing first-class services in pavement preservation, recycling, reconstruction, and materials testing, primarily for municipal, county, and state clients. APS continues to embody the principles of quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction that have fueled its journey from humble beginnings to national prominence, illustrating a true American Dream success story.
