Dynamic Materials Awarded $14.8 Million in Orders for Clad Plates to Be Used in Major Australian Natural Gas Project

BOULDER, CO--(Marketwire - September 14, 2009) - Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (NASDAQ: BOOM), the world's leading provider of explosion-welded clad metal plates, today announced that its Explosive Metalworking business has received two related orders with a combined value at $14.8 million. Both orders are for explosion-welded plates to be used to manufacture upstream equipment for the Gorgon natural gas project located off of Australia's northwest coast. The plates will be produced at DMC's Mt. Braddock, Pennsylvania production facility and are scheduled to ship to German and U.S. fabricator customers during the first half of 2010.

Yvon Cariou, president and CEO, said, "These orders resulted from a cooperative effort by our German and U.S. sales organizations, which have been pursuing these contract opportunities for several months. Our German sales team secured the larger of the two orders, and in the process, established a new customer relationship with a major regional fabricator. The Company-wide collaboration on this project has resulted in one of the largest cumulative orders in DMC's history."
