"I am once again very pleased with our results for the quarter as CECO continued to achieve significant improvements in margins and profitability," commented CECO's Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Lang. "We realized record gross and operating margins which was a direct result of our focus on operational excellence and the inclusion of our recent accretive acquisitions of both Adwest and Aarding.  Our year-to-date bookings have increased substantially over the same period last year as new and existing customers placed substantial orders with us for their air pollution control needs around the world."

Mr. Phillip DeZwirek, CECO's Chairman commented, "We are very excited with the recent announced acquisition of Met-Pro Corporation which together with CECO will create the global platform in the growing air pollution control and product recovery technology sectors. The team has already identified significant cost and revenue synergies and expects once we close the transaction, the benefits from this acquisition will generate significant value for all our shareholders."
