Item 2.	Disposition of Assets.

	On August 2, 1995, Astec Industries, Inc. (the "Company") sold 
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of its wholly-owned 
foreign subsidiary, Wibau-Astec Maschinenfabrik GmbH of Granadau, 
Germany ("Wibau-Astec") to Wirtgen Gesellschaft mit beschraenkter 
Haftung ("Wirtgen") for DM 1,550,000 (approximately $1,109,000), 
effective as of June 30, 1995.  In connection with this transaction, 
Gibat-Ohl Ingenieurgesellschaft fur Anlagentechnik mbH ("Gibat-Ohl"), 
also a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary of the Company, acquired 
certain inventory and intellectual property rights owned by Wibau-Astec 
for aggregate consideration totaling approximately DM 1,100,000 
(approximately $787,000).  In addition to the foregoing, the Company 
received, in the aggregate, approximately DM 2,000,000 (approximately 
$1,430,000) to settle various claims related to Gibat-Ohl's business 
operations.  The definitive agreement for the sale of the assets, as well as 
Wirtgen's assumption of operational control and risk of ownership of 
Wibau-Astec, each occurred on June 30, 1995, the effective date of the 
transaction.

	The Company acquired a 50% interest in Wibau-Astec in July 
1993 and the remaining 50% in November 1994.  The assets of the 
Wibau-Astec business consisted primarily of inventories, receivables, 
manufacturing machinery and equipment, computer equipment, 
computer software and office equipment used in manufacturing asphalt 
plants, their components and parts.  

	The consideration received in connection with this transaction was 
determined as a result of arm's-length negotiations between the Company 
and Wirtgen.


Item 7.	Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information 
and Exhibits.

	(a)  Financial Statements - Not Applicable.

	(b)  Pro Forma Financial Information.

(i)	The Company's balance sheet at June 30, 1995 is 
incorporated by reference from the Company's Form 
10-Q for quarter ended June 30, 1995.  The sale of 
Wibau-Astec is fully reflected in this balance sheet.

(ii)	The Pro Forma Statements of Income give effect to 
the Company's sale of its wholly-owned subsidiary, 
Wibau-Astec, for DM 1,550,000 (approximately 
$1,109,000) and its receipt, as part of this 
transaction, of approximately DM 2,000,000 
(approximately $1,430,000) to settle various claims 
related to Gibat-Ohl's business operations.  The Pro 
Forma Statements of Income are based on the 
historical financial information of the Company and 
give effect to the disposition of Wibau-Astec as 
described in the Notes thereto.  The Pro Forma 
Statements of Income assume that the disposition of 
Wibau-Astec had been effective as of the beginning 
of the periods presented.  The Pro Forma Statements 
of Income do not purport to present what the 
Company's results of operations would actually have 
been if the disposition of Wibau-Astec had occurred 
as of the beginning of the periods presented or to 
project Astec's results of operations for any future 
period.
