During 2002, Astec Industries, Inc. signed a stra- tegic alliance agreement with Case Corporation and along with its Trencor and American Augers subsidiaries formed the new Astec Underground. Astec Underground will produce the current line of eight Case trenchers, two horizontal directional drills, HDD fl uid mixing systems and down hole tools. With this new strategy selected models of trenchers and directional drills from Trencor and American Augers will be sold exclusively through the Case global dealer network which provides them with the largest product offering available in the underground market today. 

Commitment to the underground construction market has also been demonstrated by the ac- quisition of a 300,000 square-foot facility which will serve as the principal manufacturing site for trenchers. Both the Case trencher line and the Trencor products will be produced in this facility.
