ALAMO GROUP INC. TO ACQUIRE PETERSEN INDUSTRIES, EXPANDING ITS INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT PRODUCT OFFERING

SEGUIN, Texas, Dec. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Alamo Group Inc. (NYSE: ALG), a leading global manufacturer of high-quality industrial and vegetation management equipment, today announced that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Petersen Industries, Inc. ("Petersen"), an innovative manufacturer of truck-mounted grapple loader equipment for a purchase price of $166.5 million.

Petersen is the market leader in providing high-quality grapple truck loaders to governmental end-customers for the handling of bulky waste collection. Since its founding more than 65 years ago, Petersen has been at the forefront of innovation in bulky waste collection. Petersen products have transformed how municipalities, public works departments, and private haulers handle large and difficult-to-manage waste, making the process safer, faster, and more efficient. The company, based in Lake Wales, Florida, achieved annual revenue of approximately $75 million in 2024.

This acquisition nicely ties to our strategy of acquiring profitable companies with innovative and attractive product portfolios that are market leaders serving stable, steadily growing, end-markets. We believe Petersen products will fit very nicely within our product offering, and under Alamo Group ownership we believe we can unlock significant future cost savings and revenue growth as we integrate the company into our supply chain and dealer networks and expand potential applications for Petersen products."

Mr. Casey Hardee, CEO and owner of Petersen, said, "Since Sam Petersen and I purchased the company in 2012 from its original founder, our team of highly qualified and dedicated people helped us build upon the strong foundations of the company to make many innovative improvements which led to rapid growth and success in the industry. I fully anticipate the company will continue on its current path producing essential high-quality products while achieving even greater success under Alamo Group ownership."

The Company anticipates completing the transaction during the first quarter of 2026, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Alamo Group's growth and margins and to deliver solid recurring revenue from its aftermarket parts and services offerings. D.A.
