Dr. J. Don Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented that, “We are very pleased with the 2010 sales level. The recession that started in September 2008 was deep and fast. Our management right sized their businesses under extremely difficult conditions. For significant domestic growth, we need a responsible six-year highway bill which should give customers the vision to make larger capital investments.”
Dr. Brock continued “As we look forward to 2011, we expect continued growth in international sales. We continue to seek domestic and international acquisitions. We are expanding Astec Australia and will use that business model to sell multiple product lines in other international locations. Without a highway bill, we expect domestic sales to remain weak; however we hope our new and improved products and increased international sales will make up that shortfall. We see 2011 revenue improving over 2010 and expect to return to slow growth.”
