HARLEYSVILLE, Pa., May 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raymond J. De Hont, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Met-Pro Corporation (NYSE:MPR), announced today that the Company's Systems Division has received an order to supply a custom-designed recuperative thermal oxidation system to a major U. S. based pharmaceutical company. The total value of this order is approximately $700,000. The state-of-the-art equipment is expected to ship in the fourth quarter of the Company's current fiscal year. Working closely with a New Jersey-based pharmaceutical consulting firm, Systems Division was awarded this project based on their solid reputation within the pharmaceutical industry and their ability to provide the optimal equipment for this critical application.
