Pop quiz, hot shot!
Can you identify what’s being built inside the Astec | CWMF shop?

We recently welcomed students into our Waite Park facility for a firsthand look at the people, skills, and processes behind our asphalt plant equipment.

From the shop floor to asphalt plants across the country, there’s a lot happening right here in Central Minnesota.

Interested in bringing your students or group through our facility? We’d love to show you around.

There’s something different about showing your family what you build.
Last night’s CMMA tour was a great reminder of the skilled people behind our equipment and the pride that goes into building it.
Thanks to Central Minnesota Manufacturers Association and everyone who joined us for a look inside Astec Industries, Inc. Waite Park as we head into Manufacturing Month.

Winter maintenance starts before winter.
You’re still running, but now’s a good time to think about the off-season. What needs attention? What parts will you need? Anything you should get on the schedule?
A little planning now goes a long way when it’s time to fire back up.

Need parts, service or just have a question? Give our team a call: 320-251-1306

More than 30 years of partnership led to this.
Duininck's 350-TPH portable counterflow plant in Texas represents more than a new plant—it’s the latest chapter in a relationship between Duininck and CWMF that dates back to the early 1990s.
That history matters. It’s the experience, relationships and industry knowledge we’re carrying forward as CWMF builds its next chapter as part of Astec.
Read the full story from AsphaltPro to learn more about the plant, the people behind it and a partnership built for the long haul.
