Profile

Astec Industries, Inc.ASTEIndustrials

Builds equipment and parts for asphalt road building, concrete production, and aggregate processing. The business runs through Infrastructure Solutions and Materials Solutions, with sales concentrated in the United States and demand tied to infrastructure, construction, materials, and aftermarket service cycles.

Designs, manufactures, and services equipment used from quarrying and crushing aggregate to laying the road surface. Infrastructure Solutions covers asphalt and concrete plants, plant controls, telematics, pavers, milling machines, thermal systems, recycling, land-clearing, and related heavy equipment.

Materials Solutions supplies crushing, screening, washing, material-handling, and breaking equipment for aggregate and minerals processing. Service, rebuilding, parts, and turnkey processing support extend the business beyond new machine sales, including replacement parts for Astec lines and some competitors' equipment.

Sales are concentrated in the United States, with international markets smaller but present. Execution now runs through the OneASTEC integration model, a multi-year ERP program, and the TerraSource and CWMF integrations. Demand also depends on public and private infrastructure spending, while competition is fragmented across product performance, service, and price.
