Dow Jones Description

We are engaged in one principal business segment material handling equipment and systems. We operate in two primary geographic locations North and South America (the Americas) and Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia (EMEA/Asia). Within the material handling equipment and systems segment, we have two main business lines (business lines), which are our process and size reduction business lines. We are an industrial capital goods supplier, and many of the markets for our products are cyclical.

Markets served include the plastics compounding, base resin production, food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The plastics compounding and base resin production markets represent the largest markets for our process business line, and are sensitive to changes in U.S. and global economic conditions, especially as these changes relate to the use of plastics in building materials and automotive products. ...
