compared to $21.1 million, or $1.78 per diluted share in 2010, an increase of 52%.

For the full year, the Divisions net sales were $229.6 million in 2011 compared to $196.8 million in 2010, an increase of 17%. While governmental entities, the main end users for this Division, continue to be affected by budget constraints, the Division experienced solid growth, particularly in mowing and excavating products, due to pent up demand for equipment after several years of deferred replacement purchases, as well as an increase in export sales.

YEAR END RESULTS |
Ron Robinson, Alamo Groups President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the results as follows, Our ability to execute on our strategy mitigated the effects of a mixed economic environment and resulted in a record quarter and year for Alamo. The improvement in sales came from some expected areas, such as the stronger agricultural market, and some unexpected areas, such as state and local governmental buyers in the U.S. Additionally, while conditions overall remain weak in Europe, some areas, such as the U.K. and Eastern Europe, showed particular strength. We are also pleased with the acquisition and integration of Tenco, which broadened our product line and our geographic reach. Tenco contributed to both sales and earnings in 2011, and is expected to be a solid performer in 2012 and beyond. Even more important, we have achieved steadily increasing margins for the last several years resulting from our continued focus on efficiency and cost control as again we demonstrated our ability to leverage sales improvements into even greater growth in earnings.
Looking ahead to 2012, we expect our dedication to our customers and ongoing operational improvement to generate further growth in sales and earnings, even if economic conditions dont improve. We should continue to benefit from the general strengthening in the agricultural sector across both North America and Europe and we believe our governmental end users in our major markets should show some resilience as the demand for maintaining infrastructure continues at a much steadier pace than other types of spending. Overall, we remain confident that our operating structure and financial strength combined with the breadth of our product offering and the quality of our markets will continue to support our prospects for the future.
