“Kolberg-Pioneer, Inc. is very pleased to receive the Astec Industries Founder’s Award this year,” said President Jeff May.

“The company had another excellent year in 2015, and we are proud to be recognised for this honour, especially considering all of the other Astec Industries companies who could have received this award.
