have been met or exceeded.&nbsp; Among these was his desire to build the leading
industrial mowing company and today Alamo Group is the leader in both the
agricultural and governmental mowing sectors. He also wanted to see the Company
become a truly worldwide operation, which became a reality in 1991 when Alamo
made its first acquisition outside the U.S. by purchasing McConnel Ltd in
England.&nbsp; This expansion has continued and international operations now account
for over one third of Alamo&#146;s sales today.&nbsp; Mr. Douglass also wanted to see
Alamo become a public company, which it did in 1993, and it has been listed on
the New York Stock Exchange since 1995.</p>
