HARLEYSVILLE, Pa., Oct. 30 /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 Strobic Air subsidiary, has received an order to supply a total of forty (40) Strobic Air Tri-Stack(TM) fans for use in a new research facility located in the Middle East. The total value of this order is approximately $1.2 million. The equipment is expected to ship in the first quarter of the Company's next fiscal year ending January 31, 2009. The Tri-Stack(TM) fans will be used to exhaust fumes from multiple laboratories within the new facility. Each of the fans will be equipped with a Strobic Air patented acoustical silencer nozzle to further reduce sound output levels at the fan discharge. This order, which comes from a new customer who is a major contractor, is one of the largest projects of its kind ever awarded in the Middle East. Strobic Air was selected for this project based on their best-in-class reputation for supplying innovative products that are specifically designed to handle the complex issues of laboratory exhaust. "This order comes as a direct result of Met-Pro opening a regional sales office in Verniolle, France in May of this year to promote the sale of the Company's product recovery and pollution control technologies in Europe and the Middle East," stated De Hont. "It also solidifies Strobic Air's reputation as a supplier of choice worldwide for critical laboratory ventilation requirements. We continue to be pleased by the steady stream of customer interest in our products and remain optimistic about our prospects for future awards of this type from the Middle East and Europe as well as other regions around the world."
