SAMI Bitumen Technologies was formed in 1978 to meet a market need for new bitumen technology. SAMI is the leading business in Australia supplying the full range of bituminous products to the Australian roads industry. Our products constitute the critical raw material required in the construction of highways, bridges, runways, raceways, container terminals and local roads.
Our comprehensive product range is a “one-stop shop” for our customers to obtain all bituminous products required for the construction of all types of road surfacing. Our product range encompasses a wide variety of bitumen grades, including PMB (Polymer Modified Bitumen), CRMB (Crumb Rubber Modified Bitumen), specialised binders, bitumen emulsions, cutback bitumen, crack sealant mastics, and cold-mix asphalts. Leveraging our technical expertise, we continuously pioneer innovative solutions to meet the diverse demands of our customers. Our bitumen and asphalt laboratory is a leading facility in our region, renowned for its advanced capabilities.
SAMI Bitumen Technologies is one of the biggest suppliers of bulk bitumen in Australia operating in Brisbane, Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne and has a storage capacity exceeding 50,000 tonnes nationally for its bulk products. SAMI supplies all bitumen grades as specified in the Australian Standard from their bulk bitumen facilities.
As an independent operator, SAMI enjoys global support and guaranteed bitumen supply from its French parent Colas SA, a publicly listed company that operates internationally through businesses primarily focused on specialty bitumen activities.
The Colas Group is a highly regarded global bitumen technology organisation, with an emphasis on bitumen supply and associated technologies. An important element of this strategy has been the investment by a Colas subsidiary in the construction and operation of a new bitumen refinery located in Malaysia, capable of producing more than1 million tons of bitumen per year. Additionally, Colas subsidiaries own and operate a fleet of several bulk hot bitumen shipping vessels in the region.
