Hale Hamilton, one of the leading valve and fluid control device and systems manufacturers, announced today that the Hale Hamilton Group comprising Hale Hamilton Valves Ltd. and Cambridge Fluid Systems Ltd. has been acquired by Circor International Inc. of Burlington, Massachusetts, USA.

CIRCOR's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David A. Bloss, Sr. stated, "We are excited about the acquisition of Hale Hamilton because of its strong market position and high pressure fluid control technologies that will allow us to expand our product offering to the military and commercial marine markets. It also brings added products for the industrial gas markets that we serve today and will expand the products and technologies of our growing line of instrumentation systems."

Hale Hamilton's Chief Executive, Allan Goodbrand stated, "Circor is the perfect partner for Hale Hamilton going forward and as a management team we are delighted to become part of their Group.  This will enable us to further improve service to customers in domestic and international markets."

Hale Hamilton had sales of approximately £19m in 2005 and serves defence and industrial markets with a wide range of high-pressure valves and flow control equipment used in the most demanding applications including offshore oil & gas engineering, industrial gas manufacturing, and naval defence platforms.  Hale Hamilton Valves is located in Uxbridge, UK.  Cambridge Fluid Systems is located in Cambridge, UK.

CIRCOR International, Inc. (NYSE) had revenues of approx. $400m in 2004, and is a leading provider of valves and fluid control products that allow customers around the world to use fluids safely and efficiently in the instrumentation, aerospace, thermal fluid and energy markets. CIRCOR's executive headquarters are located at 25 Corporate Drive, Burlington, MA 01803.

Our customer had a requirement for a fully automatic Gas Changeover System, which did not require an electrical supply to function, including a fail – safe feature, where by, the particular position of the system could be monitored. The solution offered to the client was based around the design of a fully automatic changeover valve which switches at a pressure differential of approximately 2 bar. Included within the valve is a reed switch which provides feedback on the position of the valve.
Gauges within the system include contacts which again provide feedback to the monitor of the pressure levels within the system.

Hale Hamilton are pleased to announce the sale of its subsidiary company Hale Hamilton Gastechnology GmbH to a Management Buy-Out. This business will henceforth be known as JA-Gastechnology GmbH (JAG).

JAG will continue to serve the worldwide automotive industry with gas calibration systems, and will also continue to market Hale Hamilton products as before.

Our SV 60 range of Manual Stop Valves has been approved by a major gas company.

The product is adiabatically shock tested with Oxygen, in accordance with EN ISO 7291, thus ensuring the valve is fully compatible for Medical Oxygen service. Since approval, we have successfully sold 500 + valves in the past 3 months to plants in; US, UK and most recently Shanghai – China.

The HH valve has significantly improved the reliability and safety within the AL plants.

Working in partnership with NPL (National Physical Laboratory) we have added yet another variant to our UHP 600 range of Cylinder Valves.

Known as the MDV (minimised dead volume valve), this new valve offers the following benefits to the user:

1. Minimised dead volumes preventing the loss of liquid hydrocarbon components.
2. Low total surface area improves; sampling, speed of stabilisation and accuracy.
3. Metal to metal seal means; no polymer washer out-gassing, thus reduced atmospheric contamination.
4. Interchangabilty between std and MDV valve.

Presented at the recent ISO Symposium in Holland, the valve attracted great interest from; Praxair, Air Liquide, Messer, Scott Gas and Shell.

In addition to this, BOC, Air Products and NPL have already purchased the valve.
