16th Annual Midwest Ideas Conference summary26 Aug, 2025

Strategic transformation and operational turnaround

  • Focused on internal execution and leadership engagement from 2019, moving from bank default to a strong financial position with low employee turnover.

  • Addressed high costs and low pricing by fixing operations first, then implementing significant price increases and portfolio rationalization, regaining lost business such as Volvo.

  • Shifted strategy to 'invest for growth,' leveraging improved execution and financial health to expand sales and diversify markets.

Market diversification and product innovation

  • Reduced truck market concentration from 92% to 54% over seven years, expanding into powersports, industrial, utilities, aerospace, and consumer products.

  • Holds leading market shares in personal watercraft (87%) and truck (30%), with high barriers to entry due to capital-intensive equipment.

  • Developed proprietary SMC formulations and expanded into new revenue streams, including SMC sales and topcoat paint for new markets.

  • Won major contracts such as the $150M Volvo roof program, driving $25M in new plant investments and capacity expansion in Mexico.

Financial performance and capital allocation

  • Maintains $40M cash, $50M credit line, and a strong balance sheet, supporting organic growth, M&A, and shareholder returns.

  • Targeting 14–16% pre-tax returns on investments, with disciplined M&A focused on $10–$40M tuck-in deals and leverage below 2.5x.

  • Authorized $7.5M stock buyback, with $2.5M remaining and plans to renew.

  • Achieved $90M operating cash flow over three years, with $52M free cash flow and capacity for $425M–$475M in sales.

  • Long-term goals: $500M revenue, 8–10% operating income, and 14–16% return on capital within 3–5 years.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
