HARLEYSVILLE, Pa., May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raymond J. De Hont, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Met-Pro Corporation (NYSE:MPR), announced today that the Company's International Division, in cooperation with the Company's Flex-Kleen Division, has received an order to supply a total of ten Flex-Kleen baghouse and cartridge dust collectors for use in a copper mine located in South America. The total value of this order is approximately $800,000. The equipment is expected to ship in the third quarter of the Company's current fiscal year. The dust collectors will be used to recover valuable copper ore and to reduce nuisance dust generated in the mining process. This order is from a repeat customer who is one of the world's leading copper suppliers. Met-Pro Corporation's Flex-Kleen Division was selected to provide this equipment based on their extensive experience in product recovery and nuisance dust applications within the mining industry. Met-Pro's reputation for responsiveness to customer requirements was also a major factor as was their previous experience with this customer. "This order reinforces Flex-Kleen's reputation as a global supplier of choice for field-proven solutions for tough product recovery and nuisance dust applications," stated De Hont. "It follows a $700,000 International Division order announced earlier this week to supply a thermal oxidizer/scrubber system for use in a synthetic rubber manufacturing facility located in the Peoples Republic of China. With these orders, Met-Pro finishes its first quarter with the highest backlog in the Company's history totaling $30.0 million. We continue to be pleased by the steady growth of our international business and remain optimistic about our prospects for future awards of this type from around the world."
