TABLE OF CONTENTS

THE ALTORFER STORY

A ltorfer Machinery Company was founded on February 4th, 1957 by the late Edward

J. Altorfer. Ed had previously worked in the family washing machine business, called Altorfer Brothers Company, in East Peoria, IL. He was introduced to the Caterpillar business by his good friend, Buck Swords, who at that time owned Peoria Tractor and Equipment Company, the Caterpillar dealer in Peoria.

At its beginning, Altorfer Machinery Company had stores in Cedar Rapids, IA, Davenport, IA, and Hannibal, MO, and employed about 100 people. Ed enjoyed this business very much, and in 1967 had the opportunity to expand into a second dealership which he called Capitol Machinery Company with stores in Springfield, IL and Champaign, IL.

Ed had four sons, three of whom came into the business after college and several years of employment elsewhere. Bruce

joined Altorfer in 1970, and Jim in 1971. Don joined Capitol in 1971. Richard preferred a career in the investment business and became a stock broker in Cedar Rapids.

The companies continued to grow as Altorfer Machinery acquired the Lift Truck business in 1973, and Capitol Machinery acquired Peoria Tractor and Equipment in 1986. Both companies continued this growth through the late 1980's and 1990's, and on Jan. 1, 1998, they merged into one company, which was named Altorfer Inc.

It is with a heavy heart I write to you as we continue to mourn the loss of

Ron Heiderscheit. Ron supported our Construction Service organization and was tragically taken from his family and us in an October car accident. Ron had been with us for 14 years and was a go-to guy both personally and professionally. He treated others like he wanted to be treated; politely and with respect. And he supported his family as well as his community the best he could.

If anything positive can be taken from this, it is found within the reaction of many of you as well as our customers, some never actually met Ron but simply talked to him on the phone. The outpouring of

support truly quantifies the impact Ron had on so many. The offers of prayers, assistance, and financial contributions are humbling. I don’t feel it’s necessary to announce the amount but collectively a very generous monetary donation was made by many of you and the company to help pay for Ron’s kids’ education. This won’t fill the void that’s been created but will hopefully bring some level of peace. Ron will forever be in our thoughts.

Ron was also a veteran of our armed forces. On this Veterans Day I thank Ron and all of you who have served our country for your contribution to defending our nation and defending those who seek freedom.

On a much lighter topic; it’s hard to believe there are only seven weeks left in 2016. The ups and downs of the year have quickly brought us to the home stretch. This year will definitely be one for the history books as we’ve seen continued market volatility in the Ag segment, increased pressure from construction competition, a slowing used equipment market and multiple reorganizations from our suppliers Cat, Agco and Claas. Not to mention witnessing hopefully the bottoming of American politics by both Presidential campaigns.

Despite all of this the company continues on, albeit at expected levels below 2015. Through October our total company sales are only 3% short of our forecast but have declined by 14%

compared to last year. Over the coming weeks customers will start looking at year end purchases, conversions, finishing up jobs and winter repair work. I’m optimistic this will lead to a relatively busy end to the year. Thank you for continuing to uncover opportunities as we navigate the shifting markets.

We will also be seeing a shift in the leadership of our Ag division as the previously announced retirement of Pat Puntoni draws near. I would like to personally thank Pat for his 25 years of service to the company. Pat has taken a very hands-on approach to growing our Ag business from literally nothing to being a major player in our service territory. He has attracted a very talented group who carry his deep passion for the Ag industry. Please join me in congratulating Pat for his many contributions and much deserved retirement.

Throughout the rest of our newsletter you will read many wonderful stories of customer service, community involvement, areas of opportunity and internal employee events. I’m very proud to read about all of the things happening across our company. Despite the name on the sign, all of you make this company what it is.

Thanks for all you do!!


ALTORFER VALUES Safety | Honesty | Humility | Compassion | Integrity | Teamwork

~ From the Desk of Executive Vice President Derek Altorfer

Derek Altorfer, Executive Vice President

As of the end of October, we have had 120 incidents, of which 49

have been recordable (resulted in days away from work, restricted work, or medical treatment beyond first aid). Our Recordable Incidence Frequency is approximately 2x the average rate for our industry, 7x where CAT would like us to be, and beyond all customer qualification thresholds (we are not allowed on many customer sites). Most importantly, our coworkers are not going home safely. As I communicate this information, I hope all of us feel a sense of frustration as well as a desire to do something about it. Incidents and exposures are across the board, so all

of us can and need to help.Safety committee discussions, incident

investigations, facility walkthroughs, your feedback, and candid conversations have allowed us to significantly improve our ability to identify our exposures. Our incidents and injuries are a result of these exposures being uncontrolled. The next step in our journey is to work towards controlling these exposures. We must strive to continuously develop and implement standardized work practices that allow us to complete our tasks safely. This process has and will continue to require significant commitment, accountability, resources, patience, and most importantly, for all of us to be engaged in the process.

Part of managing incidents is managing how we care for our injuries. With this in mind, we have partnered with an organization called Company Nurse to provide telephonic nurse triage services to our coworkers with work related injuries.

~ What? Company Nurse provides Registered Nurses who perform a telephonic triage process to guide injured employees to the most appropriate level of care based on the information discussed. They may guide injured employees to emergency medical services, regular medical services, or self-care options.

~ Why? Many of our injured coworkers

do not wish to visit a medical provider or sometimes wait to visit a medical provider until their injury is unbearable. Many are given prescriptions which are never filled or provided with other medical treatment for an injury that could potentially be successfully treated with first aid and/or self-care options. Company Nurse provides individuals immediate access to a Registered Nurse. Another goal of this service is to potentially reduce the number of recordables mentioned above. We want our injured coworkers to have the most efficient and effective care possible, and Company Nurse helps provide that.

~ When and How? Company Nurse should be contacted as soon as possible after all non-life or limb threatening injuries. Please work with your supervisor to contact Company Nurse if you experience a non-life or limb threatening injury.

Please communicate all safety concerns, safety improvement ideas, and incidents (injuries, near-misses, DOT or MSHA violations, etc.) as soon as possible, and please be engaged in the processes that allow more of our coworkers to arrive safely home to their families each night.

Sincerely,Greg Veselsky

~ Altorfer Ag Products Gives Loyal Customer a Token of Appreciation

On June 26th Altorfer Ag Products Sales Representatives Lee Emerick

and Chris Miller, and Altorfer Ag Regional Sales Manager Kenny Sutton surprised Helena Chemical Company Equipment Services Manager Scott King with a special token of appreciation for being a loyal customer.

The custom built TerraGator TG7300B and tender truck models are 1/16 scale and made from mostly wood. The highly detailed TG7300B scale model has working hood lights, roof lights, a beacon light and flashers. When powered on, the engine fan runs and lights up, the booms fold, and ball valve handles turn. The replica is complete with Altorfer Ag Products and Helena Chemical Company logos.

King’s office resides in Helena’s world headquarters outside of Memphis, Tennessee, and is visited by hundreds of individuals every year, including Helena employees and even competitors who will see the replicas displayed. King has a passion for scale models of the equipment that Helena operates so Altorfer knew he would appreciate the gift.

Helena purchased $5.5 million in application equipment from the ag division

in 2015, and now operates 26 full-service locations throughout Illinois. Sutton explains that Altorfer is proud to recognize their aggressive growth, and looks forward to continuing the relationship.

“We recognize the long term strategic relationship between our company and

Helena,” says Sutton. “This replica TerraGator with our company logos expresses our appreciation for not only the volume of equipment in which they purchase, but also in the manner in which they do so.”

~ Trip down Memory Lane. . .

Caterpillar Factory Tour - 1995

Hannibal store manager Tom Will recently received an unexpected

interoffice envelope from Moberly store manager Dave Gass. Inside was this photo from a Caterpillar factory tour trip they went on 21 years ago.

The trip took place in the fall of 1995 with county commissioners and road supervisors from several Missouri counties in Altorfer’s territory. The group toured Caterpillar’s factory in Decatur, Illinois where Adair county saw their newly ordered 140H motor graders being assembled. The trip also included tours of Caterpillar’s Building SS in East Peoria, Illinois, Morton Parts Distribution Center in Morton, Illinois, and a full line demonstration at Edwards Demonstration and Learning Center in Peoria, Illinois. Like all successful factory tour trips, the group finished with dinner at Alexanders Steakhouse in downtown Peoria with several Caterpillar Engineers and sales representatives.

Tom Will recalls some fond memories from the trip: “Every one of these counties purchased an “H” series motor grader from Altorfer either prior to this trip or

right after,” says Will. “The friendships, good times, and knowledge gained about Cat products will be remembered and cherished by all that attended. It was an exciting time for me personally, because I was still wet behind the ears as a salesman. As I look back over the picture, several have passed away, several have retired, all of us remaining a little grayer, but the “shot of yellow paint” from Caterpillar still flows through our veins!”

Several Altorfer personnel were present including Moberly store manager Dave Gass, rental sales representative Paul Schneider, Hannibal store manager Tom Will, and former employees Jim Bollin, Dave Bey and Chris Akright.

Counties in attendance included Adair, Knox, Lewis, Scotland, Pike, Monroe and Clark counties in Missouri.

Altorfer Rents opened a new facility in July 2016 located at 1025 Cedar Cross

Road in Dubuque, Iowa. Marty Hart, Altorfer Rents Vice

President, says this addition provides greater product availability and services to customers in the Dubuque area.

“This is a great chance for us to extend our service capabilities to our existing customers in the area as well as introduce new customers to the Altorfer family of businesses,” says Hart. “Corey Gordon, Kirk Beason and Mitch Kinney all worked together to get this facility ready for business and the end result is really quite impressive.”

Altorfer Rents serves the landscape, construction, industrial and governmental sectors by offering a full line of Caterpillar machines, and a wide variety of complementary products from leading manufacturers. These products include aerial lifts, compactors, generators, lighting and other equipment. In addition, Altorfer Rents provides customers with every day construction tools and supplies.

“This new location will not only support rental needs of our customers, but also support other divisions’ customers as a local point of contact for parts pick up / drop off, new Caterpillar Compact Construction Equipment (CCE), and the full line of Caterpillar attachments available for skid steer and mini excavator products,” says Hart.

The Dubuque location operates under

the coordination of Mitch Kinney who gained experience working as an inside sales representative at the Cedar Rapids

rental store. Along with Mitch, Altorfer added four employees from the Dubuque area. Joe Callahan as the new salesman/

territory manager, Dan Mausser as the field technician, John Armstrong as the shop technician, and Nate Miller as the driver.

“This team is as good as any team we have had to kick off a new location,” says Altorfer Rents Store Manager Corey Gordon. “These guys are working together to serve the customers in the Dubuque area and are willing to do whatever it takes to ensure a positive experience when doing business with Altorfer Rents.”

Gordon would also like to thank Bettendorf shop supervisor Emilio Morris, another key person who made sure everything was in line for the successful completion of the location.

~ Altorfer Announces Retirement of Ag Division Vice President Pat Puntoni

Altorfer has announced the retirement of ag division vice president Pat

Puntoni, effective December 31, 2016.Puntoni has been with Altorfer for

25 years. He started working for Capital Machinery in 1991 and took over the ag department in January 1997 as the only ag employee. When Altorfer Machinery and Capital Machinery merged in 1998, Puntoni was assigned to manage the combined ag divisions that year. At the time, there were no dedicated ag facilities and parts and service were consolidated with the construction division.

In 2001, the ag department became its own division with the openning of the Clinton location, and today has five locations and 125 employees.

“Pat is the architect of Altorfer’s footprint in the ag industry,” says Altorfer President Bruce Altorfer. “He’s successfully managed the construction of our three full-service ag facilities in Clinton, Illinois, Dix,

Illinois and West Branch, Iowa, and has many contributions over 25 years with Capitol Machinery and Altorfer Inc.”

Unfortunately, Pat’s wife Tina is battling Parkinson’s disease so he’s decided to retire and focus more time to his family.

After retirement, Pat looks forward to spending time with family and traveling with Tina.

When you wake up in the morning, you expect your alarm to go

off, your phone to be charged and the bedroom lights to turn on. And when the unexpected happens, and the power is out, it’s inconvenient. Energy is something we can easily take for granted—and is usually something we don’t even think about… until it isn’t available.

While nothing seems more terrible than starting the day without a freshly brewed cup of coffee, what if the situation was a little more perilous than a rut in your morning routine? What if the power went out while you or a loved one were being treated at a hospital—or even having surgery?

This scenario was posed to me when I had the opportunity to visit with Bob Anderson, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center in Peoria, Illinois. OSF is a Caterpillar customer, and they use Cat generators for their emergency back-up power.

Caterpillar values our relationships with local businesses in the Peoria area, and as Guest and Community Relations Director, I meet with them frequently to discuss how we can continue to support each other. Like many of you reading this, I’ve been to OSF when a family member or I was sick, but I met with Anderson to learn more about this staple in our community and its energy needs.

OSF is the area's only Level 1 Trauma Center and the fourth largest medical center in Illinois, with 820 physicians and advanced practitioners, 5,800+ employees and 609 patient beds. They serve all types of patient care needs—from acute pediatrics and kidney transplants to

advanced heart surgery—24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Anderson oversees all facility operations—a tall order, considering this very large campus has about 10 large buildings across more than 40 acres. “It’s like a little city in and of itself,” he explains.

Power at OSFThe campus has two energy centers—

one serving the south and one the north side of Glen Oak Avenue, allowing some redundancy and focus on the different needs of each building. OSF has a total of seven Cat generators, which is technically two more than required as the medical center wants to be prepared should one of them fail for any reason.

“Our two energy centers are equipped with Cat generators designed to cut in and provide emergency power for life-saving medical care if we were to lose power,” Anderson told me. “Each center is provided power from different substations, so it takes multiple ‘failures’ for us to go onto emergency power—the generators

will start immediately to provide ongoing power for critical patient care needs on our campus.”

So what are the generators responsible for powering if there were to be a power outage? Lighting is usually what first comes to mind; after all, that’s the first thing we notice in our homes. But there’s a lot more, Anderson explains. “Sure, there’s emergency lighting, but there’s a lot of other critical systems, like operating rooms. If someone is in the middle of a surgery, it must be able to continue.”

All patient rooms have emergency power for ventilators, IV pumps and other day-to-day needs for patients. And behind the scenes are critical things like the fire alarm system, elevators and HVAC system “to keep airflow going the right direction for infection control purposes,” Anderson says. “There’s a lot of things that don’t first come to mind, and we have to be proactive and ready at a moment’s notice with our generators.”

Henry Vicary, Caterpillar Inc.

...Continued from page 8.

What else needs emergency power? Both pharmacies on the campus, which house life-saving drugs and vaccines that need to be temperature-controlled. Also their laboratory, which is responsible for blood supply and maintaining it at the proper temperature.

“When we lose power, our generators immediately kick on to full power in less than 10 seconds,” Anderson notes. "The campus can run solely off the generators for 87 hours before having to refuel."

“We really appreciate the reliability and longevity of those generators. We’ve had Cat for as long as I’ve been here, and that’s more than 30 years,” Anderson shared with me. “When you have a power failure, you can’t just hope the generators come on—they have to come on and work every time. Our surgeons, physicians, pharmacists, nurses and staff will be able to continue the important work they have to do if there’s a power outage.”

A Tremendous PartnershipPart of Cat’s value-add to customers is

our tremendous dealer network, and the outstanding service OSF receives from Altorfer Cat is what makes the difference.

“We reach out to our local partner and Cat dealer, Altorfer, to maintain our generators,” Anderson notes. “Altorfer also brings in additional capacity during construction projects with portable generators, so we can do necessary renovation and construction.” Right now, OSF is expanding one of its energy centers, and Altorfer is on the job.

Bob Metzinger, Altorfer Power Systems Vice President, is proud his team services the generators that the employees and patients of OSF depend on. “We hold the work we do for all of our customers to the highest standard, but especially that of OSF, as lives are literally depending on it.”

At Caterpillar, we want to see our equipment at work in every corner of the world making progress possible—but we especially want to see it at work in our home, in our own backyard. Altorfer’s world-class product support makes this happen.

“It’s important to OSF that we partner

with those in our community, not just in providing medical care, but in how we work together on projects and resources we need,” Anderson said at the end of my visit.

It’s my sentiment as well. The partnership between OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, Altorfer Cat and Caterpillar on this project is just one example of how we’re all helping to power the Peoria area together.

Needless to say, the next time the power goes out, you don’t need to worry about your loved ones at OSF. They are receiving the care they need, down to that morning cup of coffee, thanks to Cat power.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa and surrounding areas endured some of the highest water levels in nearly a decade following excessive

rainfall across the region in September. On Tuesday, September 27th the Cedar River crested at 22.1

feet in Cedar Rapids, Iowa - just 9 feet below the 2008 flood that's considered the worst natural disaster in Iowa history.

Massive flood protection efforts took place in the days prior to

prepare the region for the expected flooding. Altorfer equipment was on site throughout the week helping construct barriers, move sand bags, pump water and support flood protection efforts in any way possible.

Despite high water, most of the city was protected by temporary flood barriers and scraped by without the devastation that followed the 2008 flood.
