Dresser Machinery (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. is First Facility in China to Receive ASME ''V'' Stamp for Pressure Relief Valves; Certification Strengthens Dresser, Inc.'s Global Supply and Service Network.

SUZHOU, CHINA -- Dresser Machinery (Suzhou) Co. Ltd. (DMS), a Dresser, Inc. facility that manufacturers Dresser Consolidated(R) pressure relief valves as well as a variety of products for other Dresser, Inc. business units, is the first valve manufacturer in China to receive the ASME "V" stamp for the manufacture of safety valves for boilers.

Located in Suzhou, DMS is a wholly owned Chinese subsidiary of Dresser, manufacturing pressure relief valves, control valves, gas meters and regulators and other products. Opened in September 2005, DMS' 83,400-square-foot (7,448-square-meter), state-of-the-art plant was built to meet the needs of the rapidly growing Chinese, Asian and global marketplaces. DMS joins Dresser Consolidated's network of production and aftermarket facilities around the globe in supplying a range of pressure relief valves and parts for use in new construction and maintenance projects worldwide. The company offers comprehensive steam, water and air testing capabilities, as well as training facilities and a full service center.

"Receiving the 'V' stamp is an important milestone for DMS and Dresser Consolidated," said J. Richard Fentem, president of Dresser Consolidated. "It is symbolic of our commitment to the region, our dedication to continually strengthening our global supply and service network, and our promise to make the investments necessary to ensure we deliver the products and services our customers need to keep their facilities operating safely and efficiently."

"We are proud to be the first valve manufacturer in China to receive the 'V' stamp and to continue Dresser Consolidated's long history of industry leadership," said Henry Wu, DMS general manager. "The ASME stamp is seen by manufacturers worldwide as the benchmark of quality and reliability, and it is an honor to be recognized as meeting those rigorous standards."

DMS also holds the ASME "UV" stamp for the manufacture of pressure vessel pressure relief valves, as well as ISO certifications. The facility expects to receive CQSIQ and PED certification in late 2006.
