Investing In 
OUR FUTURE

JACO VAN DER MERWE     CEO AND PRESIDENT

I am inspired by our Purpose – Built to Connect and take pride that our  
equipment builds the infrastructure that connects family, friends and communities.

Dear Fellow Shareholders

It was a milestone year for Astec as we 
commemorated our 50th anniversary in August 
2022. While we took a moment to celebrate 
and reflect on our rich history, we never stopped 
moving forward. Guided by our OneASTEC 
business model, we continued to invest in 
our future with new products, technology, 
capital projects and business processes.  

It is an honor and a privilege to lead such a 
world class organization into its next chapter. 
During my last six years at Astec I have become 
increasingly convinced we have the greatest 

employees, customers and products. I am inspired 
by our Purpose – Built to Connect and take 
pride that our equipment builds the infrastructure 
that connects family, friends and communities.  

Our Purpose is at the core of our OneASTEC 
business model. It kept us centered as we navigated 
industry-wide challenges such as inflation, supply 
chain issues and labor shortages. We proactively 
engaged with our supply chain partners to find 
solutions; invested in our systems and operations 
to increase capacity; and implemented programs 
to attract and retain talent. We will continue 
to Simplify and Grow our business as we 
Focus on performance through execution.

The Future is Now  
We continued to invest in digital solutions to 
enable our customers to operate more efficiently. 
We are in a unique position to provide an 
integrated digital platform across our Rock to 
Road value chain and complementary products 
as we offer game changing solutions for our 
customers. In 2022, we strengthened our 
commitment by acquiring MINDS Automation 
Group, Inc. (MINDS). The MINDS team joined 
Astec Controls and Grathwol Automation to create 
the foundation for our Astec Digital organization 
which has some exciting plans for this year.  

Our Transformation  
Considerable progress was made in our 
customer-focused transformation. The investment 
in systems and processes will enable us to 
operate more efficiently. Implementing company-
wide Enterprise Resource Planning, Human 
Capital Management and Customer Experience 
systems will position us for future growth. This 
transformation is a journey and work will continue 
into 2023, and beyond, with a series of strategic, 
phased launches of enhanced systems.

Furthering Sustainability   
Sustainability is built into our business model with 
a focus on our products and operations. We 
are actively establishing our baselines of utility 
usage and greenhouse gas emissions. Once 
complete, these baselines will serve as a roadmap 
to achieve targeted goals. To further evidence 
our commitment to sustainability, we joined the 
National Asphalt Pavement Association’s “The 
Road Forward” program in 2022. This program 
is an industry-wide initiative to engage, educate 
and empower the U.S. asphalt community to 
pursue the production of zero carbon emission 
asphalt pavements by 2050.  We also joined the 
Department of Energy Better Plants program which 
works with leading U.S. manufacturers to set and 
achieve voluntary energy performance goals.  

Looking Ahead  
We move into 2023 excited about the opportunities 
ahead. Customer demand remains strong in 
the U.S. and internationally. Our Rock to Road 
product portfolio, along with our complementary 
forestry, environmental recycling, and industrial 
heating products, create value for customers and 
in turn, our shareholders.  Our employees, who 
are our true competitive advantage, are united by 
Purpose and guided by our Core Values.  I am 
excited about what  we will achieve together.  

Best, 

Jaco van der Merwe 
President and CEO Astec Industries, Inc.
