Astec Australia has announced an expansion to the dealer agreement with Mineral Processing Solutions (MPS) to include construction materials product lines in Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania. MPS will supply Astec’s range of material solutions including fixed and modular plant, equipment, parts and services throughout Australia.
Under the terms of the new agreement, MPS will distribute all Astec fixed and modular crushing, fixed screening and washing equipment and systems, as well as material handling (Telestack) and breaker technology (BTI) products to all states and territories.
The move represents a significant development in the relationship between the two companies.
According to David Smale, regional managing director at Astec, Astec and OPS Group (MPS’ parent) have forged a strong partnership over the years.
“In June, we announced that MPS would take over distribution of Astec fixed and modular equipment in NSW, with other eastern states to follow later,” he said
“It is testament to the strength and success of the relationship between Astec and MPS that those plans have now been brought forward.”

Smale said the partnership has also delivered significant benefits to customers. This new network will enable them to deliver parts more efficiently, reducing downtime and enhancing the operational efficiency of businesses.
“The MPS team’s extensive local market knowledge and experience in mineral processing – supported by Astec’s innovative technologies and manufacturing capability – has made MPS the perfect partner to deliver outstanding products and service,” he said.
MPS already has a strong presence on the east coast with well-stocked depots in Goodna (QLD), Rutherford (NSW) and Laverton (VIC), and experienced local sales and service teams able to provide a quick response to customers. Without forgetting Darwin, Perth and Adelaide branches bringing multiple options to the mix.
Smale said by combining Astec’s expertise in supplying high-quality equipment with MPS’s extensive distribution network, we are creating a robust channel that guarantees better service or exceeding relationships and expectations across the nation.
“I’m delighted to be making this announcement today and look forward to the positive impact this collaboration will have on our customers working alongside MPS. Such synergy will continue to strengthen our market presence but also set highest standard for service in building the infrastructure of Australia,” he said.
