      GARDNER DENVER, INC. REPORTS RECORD LEVEL REVENUE AND NET INCOME:
          ORGANIC GROWTH, PRICING, ACQUISITIONS AND COST REDUCTIONS
                       DRIVE PROFITABILITY IMPROVEMENT


COMPARED TO THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2005:
o    REVENUES INCREASE 66%, INCLUDING 20% FROM ORGANIC GROWTH
o    NET INCOME INCREASES 125%
o    DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE INCREASES 107%, EVEN WITH 11% MORE SHARES

o    TOTAL SEGMENT OPERATING EARNINGS(1) INCREASE 151%, REACHING
     14.2% OF REVENUES


QUINCY, IL (July 26, 2006) - Gardner Denver, Inc. (NYSE: GDI) announced that
revenues and net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $416.3
million and $33.0 million, respectively. For the six-month period of 2006,
revenues and net income were $815.6 million and $63.5 million, respectively.
Diluted earnings per share (DEPS) for the three months ended June 30, 2006
was $0.62, 107% higher than the comparable period of 2005. For the six-month
period of 2006, DEPS was $1.19, 113% better than the comparable period of
the previous year. The improvement in financial results reflects incremental
profitability attributable to organic revenue growth, pricing, acquisitions
and cost reductions, including acquisition integration activities. Current
and prior year DEPS and all share amounts presented in this press release
reflect the effect of the two-for-one stock split (in the form of a stock
dividend) that was completed on June 1, 2006.

CEO's Comments Regarding Results
- --------------------------------
"The second quarter results reflect continued strength in our end markets
and my outlook remains positive," said Ross J. Centanni, Chairman, President
and CEO. "Demand for compressor and vacuum products remains broad-based,
both regionally and across product lines, and continues to strengthen. I am
very encouraged by the improvement in orders for our compressor and vacuum
products in Europe, which has exceeded our expectations. Demand for oil and
natural gas-related products continues to be as strong as I have seen in
more than twenty years. Orders and backlog for these products increased in
the second quarter of 2006, compared to the first quarter of 2006,
reflecting strong demand into the first half of 2007 when the products are
scheduled to be delivered."

- -------------------------

(1) Total segment operating earnings (defined as revenues less cost of sales
(excluding depreciation and amortization), depreciation and amortization,
and selling and administrative expenses), and segment operating margin
(defined as segment operating earnings divided by segment revenues) are
indicative of short-term operational performance and ongoing profitability.
See "Business Segment Results."


                                     1




"I am also pleased with our operational improvements. Additional progress
was made in the second quarter to improve the performance of our supply
chain and to outsource capacity-constrained components. Through our efforts,
we have further reduced lead-times, enabling us to increase revenues and
expand segment operating margin(1) (for a reconciliation of segment
operating earnings to consolidated income before income taxes, see "Business
Segment Results."). We have also worked to decrease our investment in
working capital and excess assets. Therefore, in addition to improving DEPS,
our strategic initiatives have resulted in an improved return on equity
(defined as net income divided by average equity), which was 18.1% (on an
annualized basis) for the second quarter of 2006, compared to 11.3%
(annualized) in the second quarter of 2005."

"Our acquisition integration initiatives are progressing on plan. Our
previously announced liquid ring pump manufacturing and product
rationalization initiative, to shift production from Nuremberg, Germany to
China and Brazil, is on schedule. We expect that the facility expansion in
China will be completed this quarter and the entire production transfer will
be completed by year-end. This project is expected to generate annualized
savings in excess of $3 million beginning in the second quarter of 2007."

"In April, we began rationalizing our European blower product lines and
manufacturing facilities. We are merging the Rietschle and Wittig
operations, which are both located in Schopfheim, Germany, and relocating
the mobile blower product line from Wittig to a Gardner Denver facility in
the U.K., where other European mobile equipment is manufactured. We also
intend to rationalize the Nash Elmo and Rietschle side channel blower
product lines and centralize production of standard products in our
manufacturing facility in Bad Neustadt, Germany. To date, we have completed
negotiations with the works councils and have begun to reduce manpower
through attrition, early retirement programs and eliminating temporary
positions. We have started the rearrangement of the manufacturing facility
in the U.K. and are installing some new machine tools required to increase
output. By the fourth quarter of 2007, when the integration project is
scheduled for completion, common manufacturing processes will have been
aligned to increase productivity, and lead-times and inventory levels should
be lower. We also expect to reduce administrative and manufacturing overhead
expenses. Once completed, this project is expected to result in the
elimination of approximately 65 positions."

"We continue to seek opportunities to reduce costs and sell excess assets as
we further streamline operations. In the second quarter of 2006, we sold a
Thomas Industries distribution facility in the U.K. and a former Syltone
manufacturing plant in the U.S., generating a total of approximately $3.3
million of cash. We are also actively integrating the sales companies
acquired through the Syltone, Nash Elmo and Thomas Industries acquisitions,
which is expected to enable further margin expansion in 2007."


                                     2





Outlook
- -------
"According to the Federal Reserve Board, total industry capacity utilization
in the U.S. remained above 81% throughout the second quarter, which tends to
correlate with good demand for our industrial products. The economic
environment in Europe and Asia also remains strong. Generally, demand for
our products used in industrial applications lags economic cycle changes by
approximately six months. Therefore, we remain optimistic in our demand
outlook for industrial products through the remainder of 2006. Demand for
our drilling and well stimulation pumps also remains strong and, given the
extended visibility we have in this side of our business, we expect demand
to remain strong for these products at least through 2007. We were
successful in improving revenues in this reportable segment in the second
quarter of 2006 through price increases and additional outsourcing of
component production. Further revenue increases for oil and natural
gas-related products will depend upon our ability to identify additional
outsourcing alternatives, implement incremental price increases and expand
machining capacity through capital investment."

"As expected, integration activities negatively impacted the Compressor and
Vacuum Products segment operating earnings in the second quarter of 2006, as
a result of lower productivity and increased severance expenses. We expect
the costs associated with the integration projects to further impact
financial results in the third and fourth quarter of 2006, and then not
recur in 2007. Furthermore, due to manufacturing plant shutdown schedules
and holidays, there are fewer work days at many of our facilities in the
second half of the year, than in the first. Therefore, we expect net income
in the second half of 2006 to be less than that of the first half of 2006.
However, we believe lean manufacturing initiatives, further supplier
performance improvements and a focus on divesting excess facilities will
contribute to inventory and asset reductions over the remainder of the
year," noted Mr. Centanni.

"Given our current economic outlook, as well as our existing level of
backlog and operational improvements, we are increasing our DEPS outlook for
2006 to a range of $2.20 to $2.40, with third quarter DEPS approximating
$0.47 to $0.57. The current estimate assumes that approximately $1.0 to $2.0
million of severance and relocation expenses ($0.01 to $0.02 DEPS) are
incurred in the second half as a result of integration projects. The
midpoint of the range for 2006 ($2.30) represents a 68% increase over the
2005 results. This improvement is expected despite the $0.07 reduction in
DEPS associated with recognizing stock-based compensation expense for the
year in accordance with SFAS 123(R), a greater number of average shares
outstanding for the twelve-month period of 2006 (compared to 2005) and a
higher effective tax rate. The implementation of SFAS 123(R) is expected to
reduce net income by $0.6 million ($0.01 DEPS) in each of the remaining
quarters of 2006."

"The anticipated effective tax rate for 2006 is higher than the rate
incurred in the prior year and our previous expectation for 2006. Based on
current expectations for the sources and magnitude of earnings in 2006, the
effective tax rate assumed in the DEPS guidance for 2006 is 33%. The
anticipated increase in the effective tax rate is primarily a result of
incremental pretax income generated in the U.S. and Germany in 2006, which
is taxed at higher

                                     3




rates than the Company's effective average for 2005 (30%). Tax planning
strategies also provide decreasing rate benefits as the Company's pretax
earnings increase."

Second Quarter Results
- ----------------------
Revenues increased $166.0 million (66%) to $416.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period of 2005. Compressor
and Vacuum Products segment revenues increased 65% for the three-month
period of 2006, compared to the previous year, primarily due to the
incremental effect of acquisitions, stronger demand, manufacturing and
supply chain improvements that resulted in increased production output, and
price increases. Fluid Transfer Products segment revenues increased 71% for
the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period of 2005,
primarily due to stronger demand for drilling and well servicing pumps,
manufacturing and supply chain improvements, incremental shipments as a
result of increased outsourcing and price increases. (See Selected Financial
Data Schedule.)

Orders for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 were $181.0 million
(66%) higher than the same period of the previous year, due to acquisitions
and organic growth. The year-over-year organic growth in orders for
compressor and vacuum products was 12%, which was supplemented by
incremental orders from acquisitions. The 55% organic order growth for fluid
transfer products for the three-month period of 2006 was driven by demand
for oil and natural gas-related products that are expected to ship during
the first half of 2007. Acquisitions also favorably impacted orders for
fluid transfer products. Despite the increased revenue levels in the second
quarter of 2006, orders in each reportable segment exceeded revenues,
resulting in a 10% increase in total backlog from March 31, 2006.

Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of
revenues decreased to 64.8% in the three-month period ended June 30, 2006,
from 67.1% in the same period of 2005. This improvement was attributable to
cost reduction initiatives and leveraging fixed and semi-fixed costs over
additional production volume. Favorable sales mix also contributed to lower
cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) as a percentage of
revenues. The second quarter of 2006 included a higher percentage of
drilling pump and replacement pump parts shipments than the previous year
and these products have cost of sales (excluding depreciation and
amortization) percentages below the Company's average. Declines in
productivity related to acquisition integration efforts partially offset
some of these improvements.

Depreciation and amortization increased $7.3 million (102%) to $14.5
million, primarily due to the incremental effect of acquisitions. In the
three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company substantially completed the
allocation of the Thomas Industries purchase price to the assets acquired.
The finalization of the fair market value of this business's tangible and
amortizable intangible assets resulted in a $1.7 million increase in
depreciation and amortization expense in the three-month period of 2006 that
is not expected to recur.

                                     4




As a percentage of revenues, selling and administrative expenses decreased
to 17.5% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006, compared to 20.7%
for the same period of 2005. Selling and administrative expenses increased
$21.3 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2006 to $73.0
million, primarily due to the incremental effect of acquisitions ($20.7
million) and stock-based compensation expense ($0.8 million). These
increases were partially offset by cost reductions, net of inflationary
factors such as salary increases.

As a result of the improved cost of sales (excluding depreciation and
amortization) percentage and leveraging selling and administrative expenses
over higher revenues, operating earnings(1) (for a reconciliation of segment
operating earnings to consolidated income before income taxes, see "Business
Segment Results.") as a percentage of revenues (operating margin) for each
reportable segment improved for the three-month period ended June 30, 2006,
compared to the same period of 2005. Compressor and Vacuum Products segment
operating margin was 10.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared
to 8.1% in the same period of 2005. Fluid Transfer Products segment
operating margin increased to 27.8% for the three months ended June 30,
2006, a new record level for this reportable segment, compared to 14.2% in
the same period of 2005. The primary causes for the sequential decline in
operating margin for the Compressor and Vacuum Products segment from the
first quarter of 2006 (11.2%) to the second quarter of 2006 (10.4%) were the
productivity decreases, integration-related severance expenses ($0.5
million) and the adjustment to depreciation and amortization that were
discussed previously.

Incremental borrowings necessary to complete acquisitions and higher
short-term interest rates resulted in increased interest expense for the
three months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period of 2005. Other
income, net, in the three-month period of 2005 included approximately $0.7
million of interest income earned on the investment of financing proceeds,
prior to their use to complete the Thomas acquisition, and proceeds from
litigation-related settlements ($1.6 million).

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased $18.3 million
(125%) to $33.0 million, compared to $14.7 million in same period of 2005,
despite the inclusion of stock-based compensation expense and the higher
effective tax rate in 2006 (33.9%) than in 2005 (30.0%). The results for
2006 include approximately $1.5 million of net income from acquisitions.
Diluted earnings per share for the three-month period of 2006 was $0.62,
107% higher than comparable period of the previous year as a result of the
increased net income. The improvement in DEPS is after the dilutive effect
of the issuance of 11.3 million shares in May 2005 (adjusted for the stock
dividend completed in June 2006).


                                     5




Six Month Results
- -----------------
Revenues for the first half of 2006 increased $326.4 million (67%) to $815.6
million, compared to the same period of 2005, due to acquisitions, organic
growth and pricing. Unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates partially
offset this improvement. (See Selected Financial Data Schedule.)

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $38.5 million
(154%) to $63.5 million ($1.19 DEPS), compared to $25.0 million ($0.56 DEPS)
in same period of 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to organic
revenue growth and price increases, cost reductions (including those
associated with integrating previously acquired businesses) and acquisitions
(net of interest expense related to financing the purchase price). DEPS for
the six months ended June 30, 2006 was reduced $0.05 due to the recognition
of stock-based compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Compared
to the previous year, DEPS for 2006 was also reduced as a result of having a
greater number of average shares outstanding and a higher effective tax
rate.

Cash provided by operating activities was approximately $23.3 million in the
six-month period of 2006, 24% more than $18.8 million generated in the same
period of 2005. Incremental production volume and revenues have resulted in
increased investments in inventories and receivables since December 31,
2005. However, inventory turnover and days sales outstanding in the second
quarter of 2006 are comparable to the levels of the fourth quarter of 2005.

The Company invested approximately $16.1 million in capital expenditures in
the six-month period of 2006, compared to $10.5 million in the same period
of 2005. The higher spending in 2006 reflects incremental investments in
acquisition integration, cost reductions and capital spending at Thomas
Industries' operations. Capital spending is currently expected to be
approximately $45 million to $50 million in 2006, and will be used primarily
to integrate businesses, introduce new products and improve operations. In
addition to capital expenditures, cash provided by operations was used for
acquisition payments and to repay debt. At the end of June 2006, debt to
total capital was 42.0%, compared to 46.4% on December 31, 2005.

The Company has determined its reportable segments in accordance with Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information." The Company evaluates the performance of
its reportable segments based on income before interest expense, other income,
net, and income taxes. Reportable segment operating earnings (defined as
revenues less cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization),
depreciation and amortization, and selling and administrative expenses) and
segment operating margin (defined as segment operating earnings divided by
revenues) are indicative of short-term operating performance and ongoing
profitability. Management closely monitors the operating earnings of its
reportable segments to evaluate past performance, management performance and
compensation, and actions required to improve profitability.
