<br />
The Inc. 5000 is an expansion of the Inc. 500, introduced in 1982 and is ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2004 through 2007. It digs deeper than the Inc. 500 to offer the most comprehensive look ever at the entrepreneurial engine driving the U.S. economy. <br />
<br />
To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by the first week of 2004, and therefore able to show four full calendar years of sales. Additionally, they have to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent -- not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies -- as of December 31, 2007. Revenue in 2004 must have been at least $200,000, and revenue in 2007 must have been at least $2 million.

Houston, TX (November 22, 2008, 2008) DOYLES, a U.S. based oilfield pressure control equipment manufacturer, today announced a licensing agreement with Weir Services Middle East, a branch office of Weir Engineering Services Limited, to serve as DOYLES authorized service facility in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, Oman, Yemen, Bahrain, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Weir’s workshop in the Jebel Ali Freezone, Dubai.<br />
“This is a major step forward for us in our quest to become a global company,” Dan Henderson, President and CEO of DOYLES, noted. “Our agreement with Weir enables us to establish a significant footprint in the Middle East, one of our major areas of interest. As a result, our Middle East and North Africa customers will now be able to have their equipment repaired locally, instead of shipping it back and forth to our facilities in the U.S., saving them a significant amount of turnaround time and shipping expense.”<br />
“We are delighted to be chosen as DOYLES Middle East service arm,” Jim O’Neil (TITLE) Weir Services, notes. “Doyles not only manufactures high quality products, they have a very proactive, customer-centric service philosophy, just as we do. Together, we should be able to deliver the most capable and responsive service in the Middle East.”<br />

Houston, TX (November 22, 2008, 2008) DOYLES, a U.S. based oilfield pressure control equipment manufacturer, today announced the selection of Pentagon Freight Dubai as its stocking and shipping agent to serve the company’s Middle East and North African customers.<br />
<br />
According to Dan Henderson, President and CEO of DOYLES, “one of the biggest challenges in the oil and gas industry is the ability to deliver products quickly to cost-and time-sensitive drilling operations. Our agreement with Pentagon will enable us to do just that. They will not only streamline our shipping to the Middle East, they will also stock inventory locally for us, significantly reducing our order-to-delivery timeline. Equally important,” Henderson continues, “Pentagon is a perfect fit for us. They are the right size and they specialize in the Oil and Gas industry.” &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Established in London in 1974, Pentagon Freight Services PLC has its own strategically located world-wide facilities to provide first-class freight contracting services to the Construction, Oil, Gas and Petrochemical industries.

<div class="element">
<div class="textElement">
<p>Houston, TX (July 07, 2008) DOYLES, an
oilfield pressure control equipment company, today announced the latest
move in their five-year growth plan, the acquisition of Quality Valve
&amp; Machine Works (QVM) of Houston, Texas.&nbsp; </p>
<p>"We've been growing quickly and smartly, and Quality Valve is a
perfect fit for us", says Dan Henderson, President and CEO of DOYLES.
"With all of the consolidation going on in the industry, it's critical
to capture more market share, expand your product line and expand your
customer base. &nbsp;The Quality Valve acquisition gives us all of that,
plus a larger presence as a U.S. manufacturer. &nbsp;That's critical because
U.S. manufacturing is still regarded as among the best in the world.
&nbsp;Quality Valve, with an excellent reputation in that regard, gives us a
platform to build on as we continue to evolve DOYLES into a
full-fledged manufacturing company."</p>
<p>In addition to manufacturing valves similar to those that DOYLES
presently sells, QVM manufactures several proprietary products, such as
the highly popular Model 33 valve, the CheckMaster check valve and
others. &nbsp;But QVM's best assets, according to Berney Linder, President
of Quality Valve, are the company's experience and service-first
philosophy.</p>
<p>"What impressed me the most about DOYLES," Linder notes, "is that
their business philosophy is the same as ours, namely, treat your
customers as respected partners and provide them with unparalleled
service. &nbsp;That's both reassuring and remarkable, especially from a
company with such youthful top management. &nbsp;Their philosophy -
integrity, responsiveness and delivery - is the biggest reason why I
agreed to entrust my company in their hands."</p>
<p>DOYLES will consolidate management within both companies and
continue to operate QVM's facilities in Huntsville and Houston.&nbsp; Berney
Linder, president of QVM, will serve as an active director and
strategic advisor to the company for at least two years.</p>
<p>DOYLES, in business since 1974, is an API 6A, 16A, and 16C licensed
manufacturer. &nbsp;In addition to its own re-manufactured equipment, DOYLES
repairs, manufactures, stocks and supplies a wide variety of well
pressure-control equipment, including choke and kill manifolds, blowout
preventers, valves, chokes and more.</p>
