What Associated Asphalt does

Associated Asphalt is a liquid asphalt terminaling, storage, and distribution company headquartered in Roanoke, Virginia, serving road construction, preservation, and maintenance customers throughout the Eastern United States. The company sources, stores, blends, and distributes a range of asphalt products through a network of 30 terminals stretching from New York to Florida, supported by an owned fleet of more than 50 trucks and over 400 tanker trailers and rail access via Norfolk Southern and CSX at 17 locations. Its product portfolio spans Performance Grade (PG) paving asphalts, emulsions, the StellarFlex polymer-modified family (FR for aviation fuel resistance, SP for high-performance paving, CR for crack relief, HP for bridge decks, and GTRH for ground-tire-rubber hybrid), the J-Band void-reducing asphalt membrane, the FlexGard thin overlay system, and the eSeries preservation emulsions, with R&D and quality control performed at two AASHTO-accredited BT Labs facilities and specialty production housed at four emulsion manufacturing sites. The company sells primarily to State Departments of Transportation (PennDOT, VDOT), commercial paving contractors, airport authorities, municipalities, and motorsports facilities through a quote-based, field-sales-driven model with no published pricing; vertical-specific specialty products such as StellarFlex FR (FAA P-404 certified) and the Racetrack RT binder command differentiated positioning beyond commodity PG asphalt. In December 2023, Ergon Asphalt & Emulsions acquired the company, integrating it into Ergon's Pavement & Coating Resources business segment under Patrick Nation.
