What Allen Engineering Corporation does

Allen Engineering Corporation (AEC) is a family-owned American manufacturer of concrete placing, finishing, polishing, and paving equipment, headquartered in Paragould, Arkansas. Founded in 1964 as Allen-Hardin Redi-Mix, the company pivoted to equipment manufacturing in the mid-1970s and now produces riding trowels (HDX, HP, MP, MSP, RP series), walk-behind trowels (PRO series, including the battery-powered PRO436-B), power buggies (AT track, AW electric, AR propane), screeds (Magic Screed, truss screeds), bridge deck finishers (BDF series), roller tube pavers, vibrators, mortar mixers, power sprayers, and concrete polishing systems. Its core technology relies on proprietary control features such as Intelli-Power telematics (engine-to-Bosch-Rexroth hydraulic communication) and Intelli-Vibe vibration sensing, integrated with engines from Ford, Kubota, Hatz, Honda, and Kohler. The business sells and rents equipment through a global network of 200+ dealers and rental centers, supported by Allen Factory Authorized Service Centers (FASC), with international master distributors covering the UK (Speedcrete), Australia/NZ (Premier Concrete Equipment following ANCON Beton's exit), and Southeast Asia. AEC also generates revenue from contract manufacturing services, replacement parts and consumables through shop.alleneng.com, Allen-branded merchandise, and paid training via Allen Concrete College and FASC certification programs.
