Layton Mfg. Co., Inc. was founded in 1960 as a supplier of equipment to the small to mid-sized commercial asphalt paving Industry. LAYTON developed many innovative products that revolutionized the Paving industry in the 1960’s. Products have included a line of Tow-Type Asphalt Pavers, Self Propelled Pavers, Asphalt Rollers, and a hydraulically operated hitch used to couple large finisher asphalt pavers to the trucks transporting the asphalt. These products make extensive use of hydraulic and electrical components. Many products have incorporated hydrostatic controls. By the mid 1990’s LAYTON began a diversification process, through acquisitions, that led to a company with diverse manufacturing capabilities and a broad product base.
