Dr. J. Don Brock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are pleased with our performance for the fourth quarter and for the year of 2011. The numbers alone, unfortunately, do not show the great effort that our employees and managers put into making our company perform and in preparing it for future growth. During the year, we acquired two companies, started a new joint venture company in Brazil, bought two new facilities, expanded three of our existing facilities, negotiated the sale of the utility product line, and developed a number of new products.
The magnitude of product development far exceeds the expense and effort of any prior year. We believe that the products that were and are being developed will expand our presence in all segments of the energy, mining, and infrastructure markets."
