China Valves Technology, Inc. Obtains $3.0 million in Purchase Orders from Kunshan Water Group Co., Ltd.

KAIFENG, China , Jan. 6 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Valves Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVVT) ("China Valves" or the "Company"), a leading metal valve manufacturer with operations in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"), today announced that the Company's subsidiary, Zhengzhou Zhengdie Valve Co, Ltd. ("Zhengdie"), received a purchase order of $3.0 million for metal sealing butterfly valves and multifunctional slow-closing type check valves from Kunshan Water Group, Inc. ("Kunshan Water").

"The metal sealing butterfly valves and multifunctional slow-closing type check valves are high margin, highly profitable valve products which require advanced production technology to manufacture. We specialize in these high-end products as our ten plus years of experience in improving our production technology and practices provides us with an advantage compared with our less sophisticated competitors," said Mr. Siping Fang , Chairman and CEO of China Valves. "Based on our estimates, we dominate the market share for both products in large metropolitan cities in China such as Beijing and Shanghai , and most of the large provincial cities in China such as Nanjing , Wuhan , and Zhengzhou among others."

Metal sealing butterfly valves are widely used in the oil, chemical, metallurgical, water supply and power supply industries. This type of valve is heat-resistant and pressure-resistant, with anti-corrosion and anti-fraying properties. China Valves' technological advantage enables the Company to produce valves that are more resistant to heat, easier to operate, friction free, and have improved sealing ability, compared with traditional butterfly valves. The orders of metal sealing butterfly valves from Kunshan Water were valued at approximately $2.5 million .

Multifunctional slow-closing type check valves are mainly used in the water supply industry. This type of valve is mainly characterized by its ability to rapidly open and seal the entrance without causing severe water hammer, a pressure surge in the water pipes, and can be used for water of varying quality, ranging from sewage to potable water. Compared to traditional valves, it is lighter and has a more compact structure, weighing only 5% to 25% of traditional valves and measuring only 12.5% to 25% of their structural size. The multifunctional slow-closing type check valve also has a longer life span and is more stable compared to traditional valves. The orders of multifunctional slow-closing type check valves from Kunshan Water were valued at approximately $0.5 million .

"As we have already delivered $1.2 million worth of purchase orders of two-way metal sealing butterfly valves to Kunshan Water in 2009, these orders are another indicator of their trust in our products and our status as a major supplier for this customer," commented Mr. Fang. "We are confident that our production technology and customized service enable us to continue as the number one choice in terms of valve products for many of our clients in China ."
