Met-Pro Corporation's Global Pump Solutions Business Unit Receives Equipment Order Totaling $3.7 Million

HARLEYSVILLE, Pa., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Raymond J. De Hont, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Met-Pro Corporation (NYSE: MPR), announced today that the Company's Global Pump Solutions business unit has received an order to supply in excess of three hundred (300) corrosion resistant fiberglass centrifugal pumps for a marine life park at a world class casino resort complex in the heart of Southeast Asia. The combination of horizontal and vertical pumps will be shipped beginning December 2010, with all of the pumps scheduled to ship before the end of the first quarter of the Company's upcoming fiscal year, starting February 1, 2011. The value of this order is $3.7 million, which now represents the single largest order ever received for Fybroc® brand pumps. The marine life park will be a multi-themed seawater and freshwater aquarium with interactive man and animal encounter attractions on a grand scale never seen before. A combination of horizontal end suction and vertical pumps will be utilized for seawater circulation and filtration, both of which are critical to proper management of the aquarium's life support systems.  

The Fybroc® brand was selected for this project based on its extensive experience in aquarium and marine-related applications, which includes the successful installation and performance of their pumps in aquarium and marine-related institutions throughout the world. Fybroc® pumps, which are virtually unaffected by seawater, are installed in hundreds of aquariums worldwide, including locations in Australia, the Bahamas, Barbados, the Canary Islands, China, Dubai, Europe, Grand Cayman, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Taiwan, Thailand, and multiple United States locations.

"The Fybroc® brand's reputation for superior performance, reliability, support, and service continues to make it the aquarium and marine-related industries' preferred choice for critical seawater circulation and filtration systems around the world," stated De Hont. "Met-Pro Global Pump Solutions continues to work closely with engineers, contractors and end customers to provide the best solution to meet their needs including quality, delivery, service, and energy efficiency. The receipt of this order reconfirms the position of Fybroc® as the leading brand of pumps for sea life aquariums around the world."
