PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
We manufacture an extensive array of engineered industrial products sold to
customers in a variety of industries around the world. We believe that each of
our principal business units holds the number-one or number-two market share
position in each unit's niche market. We also believe that our consistent
financial performance has been attributable to the manufacture of quality
products designed and engineered by us, coupled with our ability to identify and
successfully integrate strategic acquisitions. IDEX Corporation ("IDEX" or the
"Company") consists of three reportable business segments: Pump Products Group,
Dispensing Equipment Group, and Other Engineered Products Group.
PUMP PRODUCTS GROUP
The Pump Products Group produces a wide variety of pumps, compressors, flow
meters, injectors and valves and related controls for the movement of liquids,
air and gases. The devices and equipment produced by this group are used by a
large and diverse set of industries including chemical processing, machinery,
water treatment, medical equipment, liquid petroleum distribution, oil and
refining, food and beverage, biotech, life sciences and drug processing. The
seven business units that comprise this group are Gast Manufacturing, Liquid
Controls, Micropump, Pulsafeeder, Rheodyne, Viking Pump and Warren Rupp. The
group accounted for 58% of sales and 62% of operating income in 2002, with 37%
of sales shipped to customers outside the U.S.

vacuum or pressure. Gast's primary markets served are medical equipment,
environmental equipment, computers and electronics, printing machinery, paint

of manufacturing capacity ranges from 40% to 70% in each facility. The Company's
executive office occupies approximately 18,000 square feet of leased space in
Northbrook, Illinois.
Approximately 2.1 million square feet (72%) of the principal plant and

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

asbestos. Such components were acquired from third party suppliers, and were not
manufactured by any of the subsidiaries. To date, all of the Company's
settlements and legal costs, except for costs of coordination, administration,
insurance investigation and a portion of defense costs have been covered in full
by insurance. However, the Company cannot predict whether and to what extent
insurance will be available to continue to cover such settlements and legal
costs, or how insurers may respond to claims that are tendered to them.
Claims have been filed in California, Illinois, Michigan, Mississippi, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington. A few claims have been
settled for minimal amounts and some have been dismissed without payment. None
have been tried.
No provision has been made in the financial statements of the Company, and
IDEX does not currently believe the asbestos-related claims will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business or financial position.
IDEX is also party to various other legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business, none of which are expected to have a material
adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
