"Toromont is well positioned entering 2013 with momentum in product support and rental activities, increased equipment populations including large mining units, record backlogs at CIMCO and a strong balance sheet," continued Mr. Medhurst. "We expect to see improved performance from our Power Systems Group, are cautiously optimistic that construction markets will be buoyed by several large projects and continue to see significant long-term opportunities in mining. Our team is focused on improving market share by providing exceptional service to our customers."
