THE HERITAGE OF ALLEN ENGINEERING
Allen Engineering Corp. (AEC) was founded in 1964 by Dewayne and Mary Ann Allen in Piggott, Arkansas as a Ready Mix Concrete Operation.
The company evolved and changed from a Ready Mix and Aggregate Producer (with six locations in Arkansas and Missouri) to a Concrete Pumping operation and eventually into a Concrete Contractor.
In 1977, Dewayne manufactured Allen’s first piece of concrete equipment, the Razorback® Truss Screed, in an old Truck Repair Shop in Paragould, Arkansas.
Today, AEC is a designer, manufacturer, distributor, and marketer of the Allen® line of Concrete and Related Equipment that is sold across the country and around the world.
Over Fifty Years later, AEC is still a Family Owned and Operated, Arkansas Based Business with Jay Allen (President and second generation) running the daily operations. Dewayne and Mary Ann Allen still serve on the company’s Board of Directors offering guidance and over-sight.
The Allen product line represents a complete system for the site-prep, placing, finishing, and paving of all types of concrete.
The majority of Allen Equipment is manufactured in the company’s 173K square foot manufacturing and distribution facility located in Paragould.
The factory occupies the same site on Fifth Street as the ready mix concrete operation that Dewayne Allen purchased in 1968.
