Bergkamp reintroduces trusted screening plant for microsurfacing with Jim Rawson
Bergkamp, a global leader in pavement preservation equipment, has partnered with Jim Rawson, founder of the former Rawson Manufacturing, to reintroduce a trusted screening plant solution tailored for the microsurfacing industry.
While not a formal acquisition, Bergkamp will bring to market a screening plant designed by Rawson that closely resembles the popular, now-unavailable Rawson model. The move comes in response to contractor demand for a reliable aggregate screening solution—one that’s purpose-built for microsurfacing crews and their unique operational needs.
“When we learned that the Rawson screening plant was no longer available, it was clear that the industry had lost a critical piece of equipment,” said Scott Bergkamp, CEO of Bergkamp. “We’ve respected Jim Rawson’s work for decades. This partnership allows us to reintroduce a field-proven design, backed by Bergkamp’s long-standing commitment to quality, service, and innovation.”
The new screening plant is designed to:
- Provide a low screening platform for easy screen changes and proper oversize management
- Deliver a robust, transport-ready frame built for the frequent mobilization required by microsurfacing crews
- Supply ample horsepower to power optional water and emulsion pumps, enabling stockpile filling on-site.
“These features solve real problems our customers face every day,” added Bergkamp. “We’re proud to bring this solution back into the market—and just as proud that it’s being done the right way, with Jim Rawson’s involvement and insight.”
Bergkamp’s expanded offering positions the company as a single-source partner for microsurfacing contractors, providing not only truck- and trailer-mounted pavers, but also the essential equipment that supports complete and efficient operations.
Initial outreach to longtime customers is underway, with product availability details to be shared in the coming months.
