Born in Chattanooga. Built for the World.

Recognized as Chattanooga’s Best Industrial Manufacturing Employer and Best Engineering Employer, we celebrate the people who make Astec’s success possible.

As we celebrate Manufacturing Week (October 2-9), we’re recognizing the skilled craftsmen, engineers, operators, technicians, service teams, and support professionals whose dedication powers Astec’s success every day.

Across our facilities and offices around the world, our teams are designing innovative solutions, building industry-leading equipment, supporting customers, solving complex challenges, and continuously finding better ways to get the job done. Their commitment to quality, safety, innovation, and customer success is what keeps Astec moving forward and helps build the infrastructure that supports communities across the globe.

That commitment was recently recognized close to home.

Astec was honored with two Chattanooga Times Free Press Best of the Best awards, earning recognition as Best Industrial Manufacturing Employer and Best Engineering Employer. For a company founded in Chattanooga more than 50 years ago, receiving recognition from the community where our journey began is especially meaningful.

But while our story started in Chattanooga, it has never been defined by a single location.

Astec was born in Chattanooga, but it has been built by people around the world.

From Tennessee to South Africa, Australia to Brazil, Canada to Europe, our success is driven by the expertise, passion, and dedication of team members who bring our purpose to life each day. Whether they are manufacturing equipment, serving customers, developing technology, supporting operations, or leading teams, every employee plays a role in shaping Astec’s future.

These Best of the Best honors belong to all of them.

They reflect the culture we’ve built together, one rooted in accountability, collaboration, continuous improvement, and a shared commitment to delivering results for our customers. They represent the people who show up every day ready to solve problems, support one another, and make Astec stronger.

Manufacturing Week gives us an opportunity to celebrate the people behind everything we do and recognize the impact manufacturing has on our communities, industries, and economy. It’s also a reminder that our greatest strength isn’t found in our facilities, products, or technologies.

Our greatest strength is our people.

While we’re honored by these awards, we’re even more proud of what they represent: the talent, teamwork, craftsmanship, and commitment demonstrated by our people every day.

Every achievement, every innovation, every machine built, and every customer served is the result of individuals who care deeply about their work and each other. That’s the spirit that defines Astec and the foundation of our success. It’s also what makes recognition like Best Industrial Manufacturing Employer and Best Engineering Employer possible.

Thank you for the passion, expertise, and dedication you bring to Astec. Your work strengthens our company, serves our customers, and helps build the infrastructure communities depend on.

As we celebrate Manufacturing Week, we celebrate you.

Our roots ground us, but our people carry our story forward every day.

Happy Manufacturing Week!
