Astec has big plans for 2023, and the real starting point for those plans will be showcasing their "Rock to Road" solutions at the largest tradeshow in North America, CONEXPO/CON-AGG. While they plan to unveil a host of new innovative products at their booth C30235 over the coarse of the event.
The company promises that more details will be revealed on March 14, but until then, they have stated that at least two of the new products are specifically geared to the road building side of the asphalt industry.
Keith Hagy, product manager- paving, states, “The key with any new project is the customer.” Astec took customer and dealer input and used it in its new development process. Hagy elaborates, “We formed and utilized dealer and customer advocacy groups. Our subject matter experts communicated with customers and dealers throughout the development process.” Hagy also explained that the new products make advancements and innovations where needed, while consistently maintaining the valuable features customers and dealers have always enjoyed from Astec road building products.
Recently, at the NAPA Annual meeting, Astec was well represented as one of two key speakers about the "asphalt plants of the future," highlighting what might be the next major advancements for producers of asphalt. While discussions focused on reducing emissions and improving efficiency, there wasn't any information about the actual road building during that focused presentation. So, with this announcement, excitement grows as contractors eagerly await new and improved methods for tackling big jobs efficiently and sustainably.
Astec looks forward to sharing its announcements and providing walk-around tours of the new releases in the booth. Preview the show here: https://www.astecindustries.com/CONEXPO2023.
