IDEX Corporation (“IDEX” or the “Company”) 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.

IDEX has three reportable business segments: Fluid & Metering Technologies, Health & Science Technologies and Fire & Safety/Diversified Products. Reporting units in the Fluid & Metering Technologies segment consist of: Banjo; Energy & Fuels (“Energy”); Chemical, Food & Process (“CFP”); Diaphragm & Dosing Pump Technology (“DDPT”) and Water Services & Technology (“WST”). Reporting units in the Health & Science Technologies segment consist of: IDEX Health & Science (“IH&S”); IDEX Optics & Photonics (“IOP”); Containment; Gast; Micropump and Materials Process Technologies (“MPT”). Reporting units in the Fire & Safety/Diversified Products segment consist of: Fire Suppression; Rescue; Band-It; and Dispensing Equipment.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company reorganized the reporting units under CFP and Water & Wastewater (“Water”) reporting units within the Fluid & Metering Technologies segment. The DDPT reporting unit was created to focus on the product technology platform around our core diaphragm and dosing pumps and will consist of Knight and Pulsafeeder from the Water reporting unit and Trebor and Warren Rupp from the CFP reporting unit. The WST reporting unit was created to focus on services provided to end customers in the municipal end markets and will include ADS, IETG, and iPEK from the Water reporting unit. The remaining business units in CFP will consist of Viking and Richter.

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.
