E.J. Elliott, Gencor’s Chairman, stated, “Sales activity slowed in the third quarter as the domestic highway construction industry remained cautious on the potential change in Federal funding commitments due to the culmination of MAP-21 which expires on September 30, 2014. Over the past few years, Gencor has made numerous improvements in operations to increase its gross margins and reduce general and administrative expenses. This should benefit the Company in the future as volumes improve. Gencor remains focused on manufacturing high-quality products and delivering superior service. The fact remains, that for the time being, funding for the nation’s roads and highway infrastructure continues pleading while our elected officials are consumed by other political projects and causes, some of which are outright illegal and damaging to America. We are optimistic that funding for America’s infrastructure cannot be ignored for much longer, and in the meantime continue operating profitably and increasing our market share albeit in a reduced market.”

Gencor Industries, Inc. is a diversified heavy machinery manufacturer of equipment used in the production of highway construction materials, synthetic fuels, and environmental control machinery and equipment used in a variety of industrial applications.
