Acquisition Expands Artificial Lift Position

Downers Grove, IL, April 25, 2012 - Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV) announced today that it has acquired Production Control Services, Inc. ("PCS"), a leading provider of artificial lift products and services for the oil and gas industry for $220 million, subject to normal closing adjustments. PCS will become part of Norris Production Solutions ("NPS"), an operating unit within Dover's Energy segment. PCS posted 2011 revenue of approximately $90 million.
