“Gencor Industries is a market-leading manufacturer of asphalt plants. The company’s H&B product line is the world’s oldest asphalt plant manufacturer, with its first plant assembled in 1894. Gencor’s business is dependent on highway construction and government funding. We believe Gencor’s operating results have benefited from the five-year Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST) and increases in highway construction spending. Although Gencor’s business is highly cyclical, we are comforted by the company’s very strong balance sheet. Gencor has no debt, valuable real estate assets, and cash and marketable securities equal to over two-thirds of its market capitalization.”
