Roll-out With Infrastructure Partner Agreements

NORTHBROOK, IL. Nov. 23, 2009 –
Old World Industries, Inc. bolstered the North American roll-out of BlueDEF™, its brand of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) through recent agreements with two leading infrastructure suppliers. Old World is sourcing DEF storage and dispensing systems from Blue1USA and through advanced valve systems from Micro Matic Industrial. Production and distribution of BlueDEF will coincide with the introduction of 2010 commercial vehicles equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems that reduce NOx emissions.

"The BlueDEF brand will be available to drivers and fleets in a variety of container and dispensing options, assuring that they'll reap the benefits of SCR technology while contributing to a cleaner planet."

BlueDEF will be available in 1 and 2.5-gallon bottles, 55-gallon drums, 275 and 330-gallon totes and aboveground bulk storage and dispensing systems, supplied by Blue1USA. The totes and the drums will use a Micro Matic closed liquid dispensing system. All BlueDEF packaging and dispensing systems meet  and exceed ISO 22241 standards to ensure product quality and optimum performance of SCR systems.

Old World's established supply network of 10 BlueDEF terminals and over 450 distribution points across North America will enable truck stops, fleet operators, dealerships and truck manufacturers to maintain DEF inventory.

Old World Industries Enters Diesel Exhaust Fluid Market
with BlueDEF™

NORTHBROOK, IL. June 12, 2009 –
Old World Industries, a leading supplier of functional fluids, announced plans to distribute its BlueDEF™ brand of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to meet the demands of the North American commercial diesel vehicle industry beginning in 2010. The company's established supply network of 10 production locations and over 450 distribution points will enable truck stops, fleet operators, dealerships and truck manufacturers to maintain DEF inventory.

BlueDEF is a urea-based fluid that converts pollutant NOx into harmless nitrogen and water in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) emissions-control systems. It is required to help nearly all diesel-powered commercial vehicles meet new EPA standards taking effect in 2010.

"The challenge for the industry will be to maintain ample and uninterrupted supply as demand for DEF grows," said Old World's Kal Mahmood, senior vice president of commercial sales. "Our extensive supply chain offers an established distribution infrastructure."

Known for producing high quality products in multiple categories, Old World continues to expand its product offerings to meet the needs of the heavy-duty market. With functional fluids such as Final Charge coolant for heavy-duty diesel engines, PEAK Antifreeze and others, Old World Industries has been a trusted name in functional fluids for over 35 years.

"Few manufacturers have the opportunity to supply and distribute to so many diverse networks as we do," said Mahmood. "Our expertise and relationships across the heavy-duty market allows us to provide BlueDEF through an already established network."
