Astec Industries, Inc
Astec Industries Inc. designs, manufactures, markets, and services equipment used in asphalt and concrete road building, along with adjacent material processing and industrial equipment. Its core business spans the full road-building value chain, from quarrying and crushing aggregate to producing and placing asphalt and concrete, and it also sells aftermarket parts that are an important part of the business model. The company serves customers in construction, aggregates, recycling, forestry, mining, ports, and power-related end markets, with sales both in the U.S. and internationally. Astec has been reshaping its portfolio through acquisitions such as TerraSource and by investing in digital connectivity, controls, automation, and a standardized ERP platform. The company operates through two reportable segments, Infrastructure Solutions and Materials Solutions, supported by manufacturing sites and sales/service offices.
