Ambatolampy is renowned for being the repair centre of [[Taxi-brousse|taxi-brousses]] and its many aluminium workshops making cutlery and cooking pots. Some workshops specialise in the production of "football games" featuring top international teams, where players are made of aluminium and hand-painted, with a pine-wood frame and even a payment system designed to insert coins.
