Marc Elliott, Gencor’s President, commented, “I am pleased to report that our company achieved another successful quarter. Q2 2023 revenues were comparable to the same period last year; however, we increased our gross margins by 960 basis points, resulting in improved operating income. This improvement was primarily the result of optimization in our manufacturing processes, and positive pricing and overall cost reduction efforts.
Despite the challenges with supply chain disruptions and volatile pricing in certain materials, we remained steadfast in our commitment to effective cost management, manufacturing excellence, and customer service.
I am also proud to report that we had a strong showing at the recent ConExpo-Con/Agg show in March, with higher-than-normal attendance and strong interest in our innovative products. We are well-positioned to capitalize on this success and anticipate continued opportunities going forward.
I am grateful to our hardworking employees who remain committed to our mission of delivering high-quality products and services, and to our loyal customers and dedicated shareholders for their ongoing support of Gencor.”
