Hydradyne, LLC Acquires Gatlin Corporation/Seal Group at Gatlin Corp

Creates Opportunities for Both Companies to Expand Product and Service Offerings to Their Own Local Markets

Fort Worth, Texas – February 15, 2016 - Hydradyne, LLC:

Hydradyne announces today that it has completed an agreement to acquire Gatlin
Corporation/Seal Group at Gatlin Corp., headquartered in Brookhaven, Mississippi. Founded in
1985, Gatlin has provided fluid power systems fabrication and repair services, as well as
hydraulic components, to the Mississippi, Louisiana and western Alabama markets for almost 31
years. Gatlin expanded its business in 1989, becoming a Parker Hannifin seal distributor in its
original location. The seal business has successfully grown and now serves its customers,
ranging from large manufacturers to small end users, from three locations, having expanded to
Covington, Louisiana and Jackson, Tennessee. The two businesses separated operationally in
1995 to better serve the needs of each market.

Hydradyne is one of Parker Hannifin’s largest national distributors. It currently operates a
network of 35 branches in 11 states, providing wholesale distribution, retail stores, fabrication
and repair centers throughout the southern United States. One of its strengths is providing fullystocked local branches, allowing its customers timely access to a wide range of quality products.

“The driving force behind our business vision is meeting the needs of customers in their
local marketplace,” says Hydradyne President David Parks. “Gatlin has built a solid and
successful operation and provided superior local service for decades. We share that strong
customer focus with them. Hydradyne will help Gatlin by offering our broad and deep product
lines to its services customers. In turn, Hydradyne will utilize Gatlin’s expertise and veteran sales
team to offer standard and customized seal products and solutions to our own customers.
Together we will deliver an exceptional and unmatched customer experience.”
