The story of ASTEC in Canada is a rugged 67-year journey, a tale that began in 1958 in the town of Thornbury, Ontario, with a clear and ambitious mission: to master the unforgiving geology of the Canadian Shield. It started as JMG Manufacturing, a company born to build the heavy equipment needed to break and move the hardest rock on earth.

    At the very heart of their identity is a legacy of transformation. This is the story of the company that became Breaker Technology (BTI), a name synonymous worldwide with high-performance rockbreaker systems and underground mining vehicles. For decades, they were the specialists who kept the mines moving, engineering the scalers and hydraulic hammers that cleared the way for progress.

    In 1999, this deep Canadian expertise joined forces with a global powerhouse. The acquisition by Astec Industries was not just a merger; it was an amplification. It connected the specialized mining know-how of Ontario with a worldwide network of infrastructure excellence. This footprint was further strengthened by the addition of BMH Systems in Saint-Bruno, Quebec, adding a mastery of concrete batch plants to their Canadian portfolio.

    A pivotal new chapter was written in 2021. This is the story of unification, where these legendary heritage brands—BTI and BMH—set aside their individual names to stand together under one powerful banner: ASTEC.

    Today, the story of ASTEC Canada is one of a complete, "Rock to Road" partner. From the underground mines of the north to the concrete foundations of the cities in the south, it is a promise of "Built to Connect," delivering a high-quality, innovative, and durable solution from a team that has spent nearly seven decades mastering the art of breaking ground and building the future.
