Ameron International Corporation

Ameron International Corporation is listed on NYSE (AMN). Although the Companys antecedents date back to 1907, it evolved directly from the merger of two separate firms in 1929, resulting in the incorporation of American Concrete Pipe Company on April 22, 1929. Various name changes occurred between that time and 1942, at which time the Companys name became American Pipe and Construction Co. By the late 1960s the Company was almost exclusively engaged in manufacturing and had expanded its product lines to include not only concrete and steel pipe but also high-performance protective coatings, ready-mix concrete, aggregates and fiberglass pipe and fittings. At the beginning of 1970, the Companys name was changed to Ameron, Inc. In the meantime, other manufactured product lines were added, including concrete and steel poles for street and area lighting and steel poles for traffic signals. In 1996, the Companys name was changed to Ameron International Corporation. (b) FINANCIAL INFORMATION AS TO INDUSTRY SEGMENTS.
