SEGUIN, Texas — Alamo Group Inc. announced earlier this week that Richard D. Pummell, Executive Vice President of Alamo's North American Agricultural Division, will be retiring effective May, 2015.  We hope to announce his replacement in the next few weeks. 

Rick Pummell commented, "It is with mixed feelings that I have decided that after 10 years with Alamo Group it is time to retire. I have been with the Company during many exciting times and the AG Division has been part of the Company's growth. Beside the day-to-day business relationships, I have enjoyed working with a great group of professionals within the Company and the AG community and wish them every success in the future. I have enjoyed my time with Alamo, but it is time to pass the baton."

Ron Robinson, Alamo Group's President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "Rick has been a key leader in Alamo's growth and development during his time with the Company.  His leadership has been evident in all aspects of our Agricultural Division's development including operations, product development, geographic expansion and acquisitions.  We appreciate his many contributions and I want to thank him for his years of service to our Company.  He will certainly be missed, though he will be working with the Company on some consulting projects after retirement.  We wish him all the best in his retirement."
