get business here the the strong We were to excited the the to previous team. as super done It's beginning are the has track deal are about led year. who record that We by really great continuing organic excellent business right an part run at happy of solid, a DTA. going still of forward of that owners, fiscal growth, Enerpac

in particularly like probably, highlight. think I'd most there's things we about three what guess, I probably I DTA,

existing very, our in heavy are remarks all business, we specialty their both very our many my is is really those. where of complementary, business really, customers you need HLT earlier, loads of horizontal extremely to as First know as really vertical it's particularly about movement lifting. There and HLT movement. applications horizontal referenced offer Previously, didn't industrial foremost, I

a from both combined that where And so, customer and leverage the kind of relationships, at can commercial synergy we existing side side we the DTA have Enerpac perspective.

I sales in actually opportunity given the I for location vast outside of see is geographic never in European sales second, really are of their of been think had the have Spain. resources Europe. we as The referenced, DTA they've expansion. and there dedicated majority lots region

building parts And now leverage we we're have channel of well that verticals are growth where funnel Americas, the about markets obviously rail the world, lot the excited including a in Super can and the the is help network that there. And here process opportunities we existing so really things end to particularly key many that including where expand. think sales I are in and And underway. of we share. actually of we to gain in there's and they thirdly, and that us, continue strong complementarity, wind like drive for serve,

to think in I opportunities growth of see those, in business. we DTA So really drive continue the to interesting all

Thomas Hayes

you moving into look they No, that that more solutions that your the you picture? say of going DTA brings? just using that the the at HLT technology, have was solutions great. need those they are does for fit your if are Would that for competitive customers side-to-side now? And Or how elsewhere kind

Paul Sternlieb

customer, not them depends Right. on the some that. yes, need of do, Yes. cases, absolutely but they all It in

we didn't bit, was side-to-side because a projects funny DTA with just where it's customers. bidding the guess, some offer solution that fact, on In acquisition actually the existing post our discovered I literally we

I opportunity opportunity where obviously, handful there it clearly we're specific very a definitely out of joined up and of there. many that. application mean is now So it in in points customers. need our a there's doing that are shared cases that Those to But highlights

Thomas Hayes

a DTA. complementary a Okay. that to one reoccurring last revenue one business? be Maybe Do they have service service on component or would just your

Paul Sternlieb

do, they actually. Yes,

side been growth one They to an tends certainly we us DTA. to of accretive business. of also the on customers business, that margin that's be because aftermarket an the initiatives within has capital growth new requires for like the certainly do We sale smaller been parts and businesses maintenance Historically, the and them. That I in is regular obviously has on a like. equipment. many focus this of growing the afterthought. focused it more aftermarket their And businesses. So space, key our well, it's business think, opportunity for serve drive and there's And equipment, and but say for wouldn't believe nice the

Thomas Hayes

Okay.

if key bit, color see on I specifically infrastructure anticipated, how little the half provide market the on a and maybe that your little the infrastructure but getting maybe you your to little 'XX to will I projects year. bit the rail, guidance. had you your be up maybe verticals commentary people performing target market. More aren't a seem mean 'XX fast of as back shifting we you maybe the originally moving but a some as was could gears as wondering mentioned in the pick outlook. some in bit market vis-a-vis MRO as just signals Just that wind more

you color that any great. So provide would can on be

Paul Sternlieb

sure. Yes,

them shows. in if we a of on our take exhibiting I key obviously referenced think number I we key turn, were at verticals, recently

shows Germany think wind of And for investment was both rail. fact, positive at two markets, activity there. terms the happening end in In see continue in and those reasonably profile I signs and of demand I in to we

feel growth, about we around earlier. FY continue disproportionate rail resources that and and or like drive organic what wind support markets, I good innovation to think here going in including investment against our my I So 'XX talked additional overall could look into that and end we and remarks

I see the many Europe the around remind U.S. think still robust in We We in certainly that here is see see investment parts aging level in But infrastructure set, probably that, cases of the And we world. see of that folks Japan. the particularly in parts happening of the many that opportunity most infrastructure. funding given, Asia. infrastructure I'd in with that space, all in We activity. obviously, other that's

need available. the is there. being Funds So are made

more a would these in little do cycle. And projects bit into them the we've proprietary And of to insight kind in But data does us rollout, to to drive access able give kind us to got indicators is, access particularly give some the most specification the bidding like comfort we some me the terms preference that us it's think slower here early U.S. I in see where are to than of more process stage leading Enerpac. of sets more progressing. of gives of life be see brand their for and what that in around

in revenue And really wouldn't So in play of infrastructure we say, see fiscal 'XX. here fiscal more into we we'll are I actual that ascribe out activity would 'XX. much, hopeful

Thomas Hayes

just Maybe back in I'll the go then and one follow-up queue.

wondering kind what's of your slowness Is I'll it, -- issues? Is project regulatory for I got not maybe on setting? assuming slowing infrastructure, mixed the of it's that. I've On I'm the it kind it some just down drivers was Is thoughts financing. call flow. it just

Just your thoughts that. on

Paul Sternlieb

be might I think some of permitting. it

tight market. think I still just is also hear. that those there's we the is still think which But availability, a are U.S. market here labor I the the labor just practical challenge, in But intent the things given there.

obviously bid it's funds permitting things out I And the As made get and matter through done. process typical a lines we the just the working time to get are of on these available. said, being think

it's As show not of the tends to It's you know, to the things the where of bid towards [indiscernible] out together Enerpac Enerpac physically need awarded. stage site, right? that I participates, into mean latter start up sort actually and they it really cycle, at and play. truly get funds be projects are come materials putting tools
