In this 2,218 word interview, exclusive to the Wall Street Transcript, Mark Morelli details the Columbus McKinnon success story.
“We sell into the construction industry, which has evolved a lot over the last couple of years. New construction markets, whether it would be commercial or related to roads and bridges, have all expanded quite significantly, as companies have been willing to spend more and there have been greater investments in infrastructure. We also sell into the mining industry, which has gone through 10-plus years of being somewhat depressed but has started to improve, buoyed by improved commodity prices. We sell as well into oil and gas, which has been through quite a recovery the last couple of years. This is a market in which we sell much of our explosion-protected products…We sell into the power utilities markets, where the utility infrastructure is expanding and power generation is being refurbished. We sell into the transportation industries, such as aerospace and automotive. Those markets have been fairly robust over the last couple of years. And we also serve the general heavy equipment manufacturing markets, where capex expansion has served that industry quite favorably, and our products are favored there as well…Another key vertical we sell into is the entertainment industry, where our products are used for their high reliability and safety to serve demanding applications, such as hanging speakers, lights and other equipment over a crowd.”
