Vestal Asphalt, Inc. was formed in 1983 as an outgrowth of its predecessor, Neil I. Guiles Excavating & Paving, Inc., move into the asphalt emulsion manufacturing business. Prior to 1983 Neil I. Guiles Excavating & Paving, Inc. was a supplier of liquid asphalt emulsion products and a commercial paving business. Its growth developed from one burned-up bulldozer rebuilt by the company president, Neil I. Guiles, in his father's garage in 1969.

Upon completion of two years of schooling in Civil Engineering at Broome Community College, Neil pursued a career in the excavating and paving business and built the business to its current status today. Originally it was the intent to be in the excavating and paving business with emphasis on hot mix paving. However, the oil embargo and asphalt shortages of the mid 1970's forced the company to pursue other forms of business. The liquid asphalt business was intriguing and the move into the liquid asphalt supply business to municipalities started in the late 1970's.

In 1981 efforts were made to pursue municipal accounts in the Ithaca area. That market's growth and development caused the formation of Cayuga Emulsions in 1985 and the construction of a state approved terminal in Lansing, New York. Since 1983 and the installation of the company's colloid mill for the manufacture of asphalt emulsions, the company has progressed to a multi-million dollar a year business with 65 employees and 3 divisions. It has developed various emulsion uses including POLYMACŪ micro surfacing, quickset slurry seals, and various cold mix paving operations. It also does cold recycling utilizing full depth reclamation, and hot pour crack filling. Vestal Asphalt’s Research and Development laboratory does QC/QA testing of all products manufactured as well as mix designs for slurry seal, microsurfacing, and cold recycling. It is ASSHTO approved and R-18 certified.It is the only private lab in NY with emulsion testing accredition.
