IDEX Corporation is a Delaware corporation incorporated on September 24, 1987.
The Company is an applied solutions business that sells an extensive array of
pumps, flow meters and other fluidics systems and components and engineered
products to customers in a variety of markets around the world. All of the Company’s
business activities are carried out through wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company has three reportable business segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies
(“FMT”), Health & Science Technologies (“HST”) and
Fire & Safety/Diversified Products (“FSDP”). Within our three
reportable segments, the Company maintains fifteen platforms, where we focus
on organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Each of our fifteen platforms
is also a reporting unit, where we annually test for goodwill impairment.
The Fluid & Metering Technologies segment contains the Energy (comprised
of Corken, Faure Herman, Liquid Controls, SAMPI and Toptech), Valves (comprised
of Alfa Valvole), Water (comprised of Pulsafeeder, Knight, ADS, IETG, and iPEK),
Industrial (comprised of Richter, Viking, Aegis, Warren Rupp, and Trebor), and
Agriculture (comprised of Banjo) platforms. The Health & Science Technologies

IDEX believes that each of its reporting units is a leader in its product and
service areas. The Company also believes that its strong financial performance
has been attributable to its ability to design and engineer specialized quality
products, coupled with its ability to identify and successfully consummate and
integrate strategic acquisitions.
