DOVER ACCOUNCES NEW SEGMENT STRUCTURE AND
EXECUTIVE APPOINTMENTS
 
New Segment Structure Focused on Driving Growth

Downers Grove, IL, March 5, 2014 - Dover (NYSE: DOV) today announced that the company has realigned its businesses into a new segment structure organized around its key end-markets to better focus on growth strategies. The new structure will also provide increased opportunities to leverage its scale and capitalize on productivity initiatives. Supporting this new structure, the company also announced, effective immediately, the promotions of C. Anderson (Andy) Fincher and William (Bill) Johnson. Mr. Fincher and Mr. Johnson have been named President & CEO of the Engineered Systems and President & CEO of the Refrigeration & Food Equipment segments, respectively.

The four segments are as follows:

Dover Energy is a leading provider of customer driven solutions and services for safe and efficient production and processing of fuels worldwide, and has a strong presence in the bearings and compression components markets. Under the new structure, the Energy segment had 2013 full-year revenue of approximately $1.9 billion. Soma Somasundaram will continue to serve as President and CEO of the Energy segment.

Dover Engineered Systems is focused on the design, manufacture and service of critical equipment and components serving the printing & identification, transportation, waste handling and industrial end-markets. Under the new structure, Engineered Systems had 2013 full-year revenue of approximately $2.5 billion. Andy Fincher, formerly EVP of Engineered Systems, has been appointed President and CEO of the Engineered Systems segment.

Dover Fluids is focused on the safe handling of critical fluids across the oil & gas, retail fueling, chemical, hygienic and industrial end-markets. Under the new structure, this segment had 2013 full-year revenue of approximately $1.2 billion. William (Bill) Spurgeon has been named President and CEO of Fluids.

Dover Refrigeration & Food Equipment is the leading provider of innovative and energy efficient equipment and systems serving the commercial refrigeration and food service industries. Under the new structure, this segment had 2013 full-year revenue of approximately $1.9 billion. Bill Johnson, formerly President of Hillphoenix, has been appointed President and CEO of Refrigeration & Food Equipment.






Commenting on this announcement, Robert A. Livingston, Dover’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “I am pleased to announce our new segment structure which will better enable us to focus on our key markets and leverage our scale, while we continue our emphasis on geographic market expansion, innovation and exceptional customer service.”
  
Mr. Livingston added, “I am also happy to see the benefits of our talent development program with the promotions of Andy Fincher and Bill Johnson. Both executives have developed long track records of accomplishment at Dover and are proven leaders. Their continued focus on serving customers and driving productivity has enabled them to build strong and profitable businesses throughout their careers. I’m confident that both Andy and Bill will excel in their new positions.”

The realignment will be reflected in Dover’s quarterly and full-year 2014 financial results. Going forward, Dover will provide customary segment data, including revenue and bookings data, as well as market commentary, on the new segment basis.
