Recs
A rare small-cap with global presence and great management. K-Tron serves niche markets in the food, drug, and energy sectors (can you say recession-proof?). Close to 40% of the company's revenue is generated overseas. Management is top-notch and has a knack for making acquisitions that quickly become accretive to earnings.
In 2007, KTII grew revenues and earnings by 36% and 63% respectively. Given the company's management, size, and the markets it serves, there's no reason to believe that K-Tron can't continue its strong growth trend over the next few years.
