Met-Pro Corporation Receives Equipment Order in Excess of $500,000 in People's Republic of China

HARLEYSVILLE, Pa., March 10 -- Raymond J. De Hont, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Met-Pro Corporation , announced today that the Company has received a significant order as a result of a cooperative sales effort between their Mefiag B.V. subsidiary in Heerenveen, Netherlands and Sethco Division in Hauppauge, New York. The order, which was received from a major supplier of plastic parts for the automotive industry who is building a new facility in the People's Republic of China, includes Mefiag horizontal disc filters and special Sethco titanium cartridge filters. The total value of this order is in excess of $500,000. Shipment is expected to be in the first quarter of this fiscal year.

All equipment included in this order is for use on automatic plating lines where plastic automotive parts will be plated with copper, nickel and chrome. The combination of Mefiag horizontal disc filters and Sethco cartridge filters will be used for filtering the plating solutions.

"As announced earlier this week, Met-Pro is now in the process of establishing a manufacturing operation in Guangzhou, People's Republic of China, which will allow us to locally manufacture, sell and service filter systems, pumps and accessory equipment," said De Hont. "The establishment of a local presence was a major factor in being selected for this project. We are actively involved in developing the vast potential for our products in China and are excited about our future in this market."
