SHERRY EXPANDS WITH PURCHASE OF EDGLO
November 19, 2007

Daleville, Indiana -- Sherry Laboratories is pleased to announce its expansion with the acquisition of testing operations from Edglo Laboratories, Inc., in Fort Wayne, Ind. Edglo is an environmental testing company specializing in NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) and industrial pretreatment effluent discharges, industrial waste sites, drinking water and landfill monitoring wells, storm water discharges, natural waterways, and contaminated sites.

Edglo has been providing environmental sampling and testing services to industries, municipalities and individuals throughout the Midwest since 1969.

Christopher LaMothe, Chairman and CEO of Sherry Laboratories, said the acquisition will strengthen Sherry’s market presence as the leading wastewater laboratory in Indiana. “Edglo Laboratories, through its associates, has built a solid reputation for excellence with its clients. Sherry’s similar commitment to customers makes this a natural addition to our growing family of laboratories and services.”

In addition to enriching the company’s wastewater expertise, the acquisition allows Sherry Laboratories to increase its drinking water testing capabilities. The combined operations of Sherry and Edglo will remain in Fort Wayne and operate from a 15,000-square-foot facility at 2121 East Washington Boulevard.

“We have found over the years that Fort Wayne and Indiana are very business friendly,” LaMothe said. “We are pleased to expand our operations in this city and state.”

Ed Guindon, former owner and President of the testing operations at Edglo, said after spending 39 years in the laboratory business he is looking forward to a partial retirement and is grateful to find a company like Sherry to continue servicing clients in the area. “I am especially pleased to have a well-respected entity in the business like Sherry Laboratories come in and combine and expand our environmental services. I know they are committed to Fort Wayne, Allen County and other areas of the state.”

In addition to the Fort Wayne facility, Sherry Laboratories has seven laboratories strategically located throughout the United States, including four in Indiana. The company has an environmental laboratory in Columbus, as well as a facility in Warsaw which specializes in environmental, food and microbiological testing. Sherry also has a 54,000-square-foot complex in Daleville, which is utilized for environmental, microbiological and metallurgical testing. It also houses the Sherry Engineering Group and is home to Sherry’s administrative headquarters.

In addition to the four Indiana locations, Sherry has two environmental laboratories in Louisiana. The facility in Lafayette provides environmental and bioassay-testing services, while the lab in Scott specializes in hydrocarbon testing and the blending of specialty gases. Sherry also has a facility in Broken Arrow, Okla., a suburb of Tulsa, which offers metallurgical and nonmetallic analyses and metallurgical field services.

Established in 1947, Sherry Laboratories provides a single source for independent metallurgical, nonmetallic, polymer, environmental, microbiological, bioassay and petroleum related testing services that satisfy customers’ precise specifications while meeting their scheduling requirements. Sherry provides analytical services across the United States and throughout the world to clients in the aerospace, automotive, defense, general manufacturing, medical device, nuclear, petrochemical, pretreatment, remediation and refining industries.
