GENC

Gencor Industries, Inc.

A maker of heavy machinery for road and highway construction, Gencor Industries builds asphalt plants, burners, and heat-transfer systems used by paving contractors to produce the hot-mix material that becomes roads. Founded in Orlando in 1968 by E.J. Elliott, the company began as Mechtronic International Corporation and renamed itself Gencor in 1987, a nod to its General Combustion lineage. Its signature is the patented Ultradrum, a counterflow mixer whose isolated mixing zone keeps liquid asphalt away from the burner flame.
