Met-Pro Corporation’s International Business Unit Receives Equipment Order Totaling in Excess of $525,000

HARLEYSVILLE, Pa., Dec. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Raymond J. De Hont, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Met-Pro Corporation (NYSE: MPR), announced today that the Company’s International business unit has received an order in excess of $525,000 to supply two (2) Strobic Air Tri-Stack(TM) heat recovery systems for use in a university’s bio-science research laboratory located in The Republic of Botswana. All of the equipment is expected to ship in the fourth quarter of the Company’s current fiscal year.

The two (2) heat recovery systems, which were purchased through Strobic Air’s United Kingdom Sales Representative by a new customer, who is a major contractor in Africa, include a total of six (6) Tri-Stack(TM) fans, equipped with Strobic Air’s patented acoustical silencer nozzle to minimize sound output levels at the fan discharge, mounted on two (2) heat recovery plenums. The systems will be used to not only exhaust fumes from laboratory hoods but also extract exhaust heat for heating or cooling conditioned makeup air in the laboratory, drastically lowering the laboratory’s energy costs. Strobic Air was awarded this contract based on their best-in-class reputation for supplying low profile exhaust systems that are specifically designed to handle the complex issues of laboratory exhaust and heat recovery.

“This order is another example of Strobic Air’s strong presence in the bio-science market and reinforces their worldwide reputation as a supplier of choice for technologically advanced fume hood exhaust systems at institutional, industrial and government laboratories,” stated De Hont. “It also demonstrates the expanding reach of Met-Pro’s international business and strong demand for our wide range of solutions that help solve the challenges of protecting our environment while also reducing energy costs. It allows us to remain optimistic about our prospects for future awards of this type from Africa, as well as other regions worldwide.”
