Winston Score History

The full picture

Alamo Group makes heavy-duty equipment used to maintain roadsides, vegetation, and infrastructure. Its main products include mowing machines, excavators, and street sweepers sold to government agencies, municipalities, and utility companies. The company owns well-known brands like Gradall and Tiger, and is one of the larger North American manufacturers of outdoor power and maintenance equipment for public works.

Alamo earns revenue by selling this equipment directly to customers, with government contracts making up a large share of its business. It operates primarily in North America but also has a meaningful presence in Europe, and generates roughly $1.5 billion in annual revenue. Its competitive position benefits from long-standing relationships with government buyers and a broad product lineup that is hard for smaller rivals to match. The key risk is that government budget cuts or delays in infrastructure spending could reduce demand for its equipment, since public agencies are its most important customers.
