About Astec Industries INC

Astec Industries, Inc. (ticker: ASTE) is a U.S.-listed industrial company traded on the Nasdaq in the United States. Founded in 1972, Astec was built on the idea of applying more advanced technology to traditionally low-tech, highly cyclical construction and materials-handling markets. The company is headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where it also maintains major manufacturing, rebuild, training, warehouse and office operations. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/792987/000079298726000012/a2025astecannualreport.pdf)) Astec operates through two primary reporting segments. Infrastructure Solutions includes asphalt plants, concrete plants, thermal and storage solutions, road construction equipment, and automation and telematics platforms. Materials Solutions covers heavy and soft rock processing equipment, together with parts, components and related services for aggregate, civil construction, energy, mining, hydro-electric, recycling, ports and bulk-material-handling end markets. This segment structure gives the company exposure to both new infrastructure spending and aftermarket demand.

That model matters in industrial capital equipment because customers typically value uptime, installed-base support, product reliability and lifecycle economics as much as initial purchase price. The company says it has more than 4,000 employees and a global footprint, with manufacturing locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Brazil and Canada. ([astecindustries.com](https://www.astecindustries.com/about?utm_source=openai)) Astec’s core product families include asphalt plants, concrete plants, aggregate processing systems, conveyors, industrial heating systems, road-building equipment and material-handling solutions. Its portfolio is supported by a recognized brand set and a meaningful aftermarket business, which helps diversify revenue beyond new equipment orders. In 2025, Astec highlighted product innovation and customer support initiatives at major industry events, reinforcing its positioning in concrete and aggregates. ([astecindustries.com](https://astecindustries.com/press-releases/astec-woc-2026/?utm_source=openai)) Recent developments have been important. Astec announced the acquisition of TerraSource Holdings in 2025, with management stating that the transaction closed on July 1, 2025 in its third-quarter results. In December 2025, the company also announced a definitive agreement to acquire CWMF Corporation, a manufacturer of portable and stationary asphalt plant equipment. These deals suggest a deliberate M&A strategy aimed at expanding product breadth and strengthening market coverage. Operationally, Astec reported 2025 net sales of $1.41 billion, improved profitability and a higher backlog, while continuing to pay a quarterly dividend. For investors, ASTE represents a U.S. industrial infrastructure play with cyclical exposure, but also with aftermarket support, global reach and an active consolidation strategy.
