CEO of Venice manufacturer joins board of billion-dollar concrete firm

PGT Innovations President and CEO Jeff Jackson has been appointed to the board of Astec Industries, a publicly traded manufacturer of specialized equipment for asphalt road building, aggregate processing and concrete production. 

Jackson will serve on the Chattanooga, Tennessee-based company’s 11-member board as an independent director and a member of the compensation committee. With shares traded on the Nasdaq, Astec had $1.33 billion in revenue in 2023. (Venice-based PGT, traded on the NYSE, had $1.5 billion in revenue in 2023.)

“It is truly an honor to be elected to serve on the Astec board,” says Jackson. “Astec is committed to design and build state-of-the-art equipment from rock to road. As the leader of a fast-growing company in a different segment of the manufacturing and building materials industries, I’m excited to bring a unique perspective on creating an environment in which Astec and its team members can thrive, while delivering bottom-line results and shareholder value.
