Valmont has been one of the economic indicators in Eastern Nebraska for years. In the '80's and '90's, the local television stations would point to Valmont as a sign that the economy wasn't as bad as people made it out to be, and a sign of the recovery.

Valmont has a number of things going for it. It has strong international presence, is positioned to take advantage of the stimulus package when roadway work really gets going, and is also well positioned in the energy field with the towers it builds for wind generatiors. Most importantly Valmont has an excellent management team, well versed in international trade, and a strong marketing force. I hold Valmont and it is winner in my portfolio and am a former officer of Valmont so I think I know the inside story of this great company.
