Astec
Industries, Inc. is a family of companies which together have become
America’s leading manufacturer of equipment for aggregate processing,
asphalt road building and pipeline and utility trenching. The Company
was founded in 1972 with the vision to apply creative thinking and
state-of-the-art technology to a traditionally low-tech industry,
bolstered by a corporate culture which is renowned for putting customer
service first.
Today
the Company manufactures more than 170 products from rock crushing and
screening plants to hot-mix asphalt plants, milling machines, asphalt
pavers, material transfer vehicles, asphalt testing equipment and
trenchers. No other company in the world competes with Astec in all or
even most of its product lines. Astec’s innovative products have led to
a continuous stream of new patents and are in ever increasing demand in
both the domestic and international markets. The Astec companies have
become leaders in their respective domestic markets by giving Astec
customers the means to be more productive and profitable while giving
the highway owners and users smoother, safer and more durable roads and
related infrastructure.
Asphalt roads have
proven to be the most cost effective to construct and maintain, the
most durable and the most economical to reclaim and renovate when
needed. As a result, demand continues to increase in the U.S. and
around the world for the equipment needed in asphalt road construction
and other aspects of infrastructure development such as pipelines.
