Apollo Mechanical Contractors to purchase Northwest Operations of Kinetic Systems, Inc.

Apollo Mechanical Contractors has acquired the assets associated with Kinetic Systems, Inc.’s Northwest operations this
week, and intends retain most of Kinetics’ staff associated with the Northwest operations, strengthening Apollo’s
capabilities in high purity piping and fabrication in the Northwest.

July 11, 2011 ‐ Kennewick, WA
This week Apollo Mechanical Contractors will complete the acquisition of the assets associated with Kinetics’ Northwest
operations. Previously competitors in the high tech/semi‐conductor industry in the region, the Northwest operations of
Kinetics, will be fully absorbed by Apollo. This acquisition will increase Apollo’s capabilities in high purity piping and
fabrication/installation and specialty equipment throughout the Pacific Northwest. Kinetics will finish work on all current
Kinetics contracts and work to facilitate the transition to Apollo in the Northwest as the current work is completed.
This acquisition establishes a stronger, more unified piping and sheet metal fabrication presence in Portland, Oregon. Bob
Hightower, Vice‐President for Apollo Mechanical Contractors reports, “This move will establish Apollo as a premier, full
mechanical contracting company, allowing us to better serve the industrial clients in the Northwest Oregon/Southwest
Washington marketplace.”

The acquisition by Apollo, which is celebrating its 30th year in business, of Kinetics Northwest operations, unites two
companies with stellar reputations in the mechanical construction industry. Following completion of the transition,
Kinetics will focus on its California, Southwest, Southeast, Mid‐Atlantic, Northeast and International operations.
Additionally, the parties intend to explore potential opportunities to work together on projects where the individual skill
sets of each entity complement one another.

In 2011, Apollo Construction received an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 0.29, making them the safest company in
Washington State, beating out the second closest company by an astounding 30%. To celebrate both its 30th anniversary
and its stellar safety record, Apollo has launched an impressive philanthropy campaign that includes one act of charity for
every year the company has been in business.
