Otter Tail Corporation (NASDAQ: OTTR) is a diversified holding company that operates through three segments: Electric, Manufacturing, and Plastics. The Electric segment generates, transmits, distributes, and sells electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota, while participating in the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) markets. Its generation mix includes coal, fuel oil, solar, wind, and natural gas.
The Manufacturing segment provides metal fabrication services and produces thermoformed plastic products, with facilities located in Georgia, Illinois, and Minnesota. These products serve a diverse range of end markets, including agriculture, construction, industrial, lawn and garden, and recreational vehicles.
The Plastics segment manufactures polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes used in municipal water, rural water, wastewater, storm drainage, and water reclamation systems, as well as products for the horticulture, medical and life sciences, industrial, recreation, and electronics industries. The company markets its plastic products through independent sales representatives, company salespersons, and customer service representatives.
Otter Tail Corporation was incorporated in 1907 and is headquartered in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. As a vertically integrated electric utility with diversified manufacturing and plastics operations, the company combines regulated utility stability with exposure to industrial end markets, which can provide both defensive cash flow and growth potential tied to infrastructure and construction demand.
- Minnesota rate case decisions shape electric segment returns
- PVC pipe volumes rise on federal infrastructure spending
- Manufacturing margins pressured by weak ag and RV demand
