Superior Bowen Asphalt

Superior Bowen, headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, is one of the largest asphalt paving and construction companies in the Midwest. The company has also expanded into new, related areas of business in which we have specific expertise. Today, our services include cold milling, hot mix asphalt production, asphalt additives and formulations, QA/QC lab testing, and site prep development planning and earthwork. Our customers - whether state governments and municipalities, federal aviation authorities, general contractors, commercial developers, or other asphalt construction companies - know they can count on Superior Bowen to deliver.

With six, state-of-the-art asphalt plants located throughout the KC metro area, Superior Bowen produces carefully tested mixes at a quality that often exceeds our customer demand. We incorporate only the highest quality stone aggregate in our designs to produce the most durable mixes. We also use advanced testing and technology during materials selection and design to provide more competitive pricing. We've done extensive research with asphalt additives to extend pavement life, and we actively seek advances in equipment and technology to stay ahead in the production and characterization of paving mixtures for enhanced ride-ability and longevity.

Over the past several years, Superior Bowen has expanded its services within an industry we know well. We invested in the creation of a unique capability to serve residential and commercial developers with a distinguished team of highly experienced sitework professionals. They understand the critical nature of initial development feasibility decisions and have expertise in pre-construction site evaluations, planning, problem-solving, and groundwork as the underpinnings for more viable, successful development projects.

We care about the legacy we leave behind, so we employ consistent, responsible measures to protect the environment and to re-use materials whenever possible. Superior Bowen was the first paving company in the area to successfully incorporate recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) into hot mix formulations in 1981. Since then, the company has continued to demonstrate leadership in increased materials efficiency by being the first to innovate processes and formulations for recycled asphalt shingles (RAS) and warm mix asphalt (WMA), effectively reducing the carbon footprint.
