The Strategic Cooperation Between China Valves Technology Inc. and Dongfang Electric Bears Fruit

ZHENGZHOU, China, Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- China Valves Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: CVVT) ("China Valves" or the "Company"), a leading Chinese metal valve manufacturer, today announced that the Company has received a purchase order worth $15 million for pumped storage inlet valves for hydraulic turbines and large diameter pumped energy storage ball valves from Dongfang Electric Corporation ("Dongfang Electric"), the largest manufacturer of power generating equipment and contractor for power station projects in the world.

These valves will be produced by the Company's subsidiaries China Valve Technology (Changsha) Valve Co., Ltd. and Zhengzhou Zhengdie Valve Co, Ltd.

As announced in February 2010, China Valves signed a strategic cooperative framework agreement to establish a joint research and development center for the development of high-end valves that Dongfang Electric currently imports. It is anticipated that in the next 5 to 10 years, the dramatic growth in the number and scale of hydropower and nuclear plants will result in approximately $10 billion demand for these advanced valves.

"We believe producing our current inlet valves for hydraulic turbines in pumped storage units and large diameter pumped energy storage ball valves domestically will benefit our company as well as our country," said Mr. Wang Ji, Chairman of Dongfang Electric. "As such, we highly value our cooperation with China Valves."

"We are pleased with our cooperation with Dongfang Electric thus far and look forward to receiving more contracts in the future," said Mr. Jianbao Wang, the Company's Chief Executive Officer. "The firm cooperation with a market leader like Dongfang Electric will provide us with more opportunities to access the rapidly developing hydropower market across the globe."

Mr. Siping Fang, Chairman of China Valves concluded, "The world is promoting the development of new energy sources. The Chinese government is also actively promoting in particular the development of hydropower, nuclear power, solar power, and tidal power projects to promote sustainable economic development. With our high-technology valves, we will use the opportunity to advance into the large-scale hydropower and nuclear power market."
