A MESSAGE FROM<br />
THE PRESIDENT<br />
Dan Stracener<br />
Construction<br />
remains<br />
in positive<br />
territory<br />
2<br />
Dear Valued Customer:<br />
Economists and industry organizations predict further strength in<br />
construction throughout 2018. Many see growth across several market<br />
sectors, and if Congress delivers on new infrastructure legislation, that<br />
would also add to the positive outlook. At TEC, we are hopeful that<br />
will be the case.<br />
Growth in the construction industry means more machinery in<br />
the field. TEC is aligned with great manufacturers who we believe<br />
engineer and build the best equipment in the industry. Komatsu is a<br />
perfect example. No other company can match its intelligent Machine<br />
Control dozers and excavators, which are making businesses like<br />
yours more productive, efficient and profitable. You can read about<br />
