LUBE DEVICES CHANGES NAME TO LDI INDUSTRIES

Lube Devices, Inc. has changed its name to LDI Industries Inc. effective June 1.

Company President Mark Lukas said, "This is only a name change. There are no changes with our personnel or plant sites."

LDI Industries is an ISO 9001/2000 supplier of hydraulic components and lubrication equipment to mobile equipment and industrial markets employing more than 200 associates working out of two plant locations in Manitowoc and South Elgin, Ill.

"This corporate name change reflects our continued growth and desire to roll our acquisitions and product lines into one name," Lukas said.

The established trade names of the company include Lube Devices, Flodar Fittings, Hydra-Tool and Vescor.

Lukas said customers prefer vendor consolidation and sourcing as many items as possible from one vendor name.

LUBE DEVICES RECEIVES ISO 9001:2000 CERTIFICATION

Lube Devices, Inc. along with its Hydra-Tool and Flodar Fitting divisions is pleased to announce that they have received ISO 9001:2000 certification for its manufacturing facility in Manitowoc WI. They received the registration certificate in February, 2004 after successfully passing a 2 1/2 day on-site audit by SGS International, an accredited registrar. Lube Devices was nominated by John Deere and Oshkosh Truck to work with Wisconsin Manufacturing Extension Partnership (WMEP) in accomplishing this achievement.

ISO 9001:2000 requires a business to develop a management system that challenges its organization to continually improve its business processes. It places even greater emphasis on customer satisfaction than previous ISO standards. Lube Devices, Inc. has been a leading designer and manufacturer of lubricating equipment and hydraulic components for the OEM and MRO markets for over 40 years.

Quote from President Mark Lukas, "This positive accomplishment demonstrates our on-going commitment to provide quality products, on-time to our valued customers. Our associates have demonstrated their capability and dedication to 'total customer satisfaction' and proudly support the effort to continue as a 'World-Class' supplier."

In recognition of this important event all associates were treated to a catered lunch.
