KAIFENG and ZHENGZHOU, China, April 9 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Valves Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVVT) ("China Valves" or the "Company"), a leading Chinese metal valve manufacturer, today announced that on April 8, 2010, the Company completed the acquisition of Shanghai Pudong Hanwei Valve Co., Ltd. ("Hanwei Valve"), a Shanghai-based valve manufacturer with several patents for high-tech valve specifications in the petrochemical and bioengineering industries, for approximately $21 million.

Through the transaction, China Valve has acquired 100% of the assets of Hanwei Valve and will consolidate Hanwei Valve’s operations into its financial results effective April 8, 2010. For fiscal year 2010, the Company expects Hanwei Valve to contribute $20 million in revenue and $5 million in net income.

Its main products include ball valves, check valves, butterfly valves, gate valves and other general purpose valves for a variety of applications, including oil refineries, chemical production and transport, electric power plants, and water supply. Hanwei Valve owns patents for a 24-way rotary valve used in simulating moving bed molecular sieve absorption-separation units in large-scale petrochemical equipment, for chromatogram separation units used in bioengineering, and for fully welded ball valves used in long distance gas pipelines.
