Astec Expands Strategic Partnership with Mineral Processing Solutions to Support Australian Customers

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., May 1, 2025 — Astec Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ASTE) is pleased to announce the expansion of its partnership with Mineral Processing Solutions (MPS), part of the OPS Group, to strengthen support for quarrying and mining customers across Australia.

Under the expanded agreement, MPS will now distribute and support Astec's complete line of fixed and modular crushing, screening, washing, material handling, and breaker technology equipment across all Australian states and territories. The move builds on the success of a prior agreement, established in mid-2024, that granted MPS distribution rights for Astec equipment in New South Wales.

“The success of our partnership with MPS in New South Wales made it clear that expanding our collaboration would be a major benefit to customers nationwide,” said Adam Gordon, material solutions business line manager at Astec. “MPS brings deep industry knowledge, extensive local market experience, and a commitment to outstanding customer service — all backed by Astec's innovative technology and manufacturing strength.”

With facilities in Goodna, Queensland; Rutherford, New South Wales; Laverton, Victoria; and additional locations in Darwin, Perth and Adelaide, MPS offers comprehensive sales, service, parts, and technical support across Australia. Its strong network ensures fast parts delivery and responsive support, helping customers reduce downtime and maximize operational efficiency.

“The ability to provide fast, efficient service and parts support is critical for our customers' success,” said Gordon. “By expanding our network through MPS, we're delivering greater convenience, reduced lead times, and enhanced service across the country.”

The partnership also enables operational efficiencies for Astec Australia by consolidating supply lines and improving equipment accessibility for construction materials and mining operations nationwide.

“Customers can expect a streamlined procurement process, improved service responsiveness, and continued access to Astec's globally recognized equipment,” Gordon said. “Together with MPS, we are well-positioned to meet the growing demand for high-quality processing solutions and provide reliable long-term support to Australia's mining and construction industries.”

The expanded partnership reinforces Astec's commitment to delivering industry-leading equipment, innovative solutions, and exceptional service to customers around the world.
