Arnco History

In 1972, ARNCO Corp. began as ARNCO Flasher Equipment Company in Youngstown, Ohio,
renting traffic barricades to utility companies. Several years later, in 1976, ARNCO expanded its
product offering with the introduction of chemicals and equipment for utility installations. Then
in 1985 Bob Smith purchased ARNCO and relocated the manufacturing facility and headquarters
to Westlake, Ohio. Two years later, ARNCO moved its manufacturing facility and headquarters
to Elyria, Ohio, and began manufacturing conduit.

Dura-Line History

In 1971, Dura-Line was founded in Middlesboro, KY., as a producer of plastic pipe for
the potable water market. Ten years later, Dura-Line became the first manufacturer to
develop an innovative conduit for the installation and protection of fiber optic cables.
Dura-Line entered joint ventures with several international cable manufacturers in the
mid-1990s to expand its international market share.

In April 2007, private equity firm Audax Group purchased ARNCO Corp. and Dura-Line Corp.,
both leading manufacturers of (HDPE) conduit, pipe, and conduit products and accessories. This
merger and acquisition led to the creation of A-D Technologies, a holding company that includes
ARNCO and Dura-Line.

A-D Technologies Global Headquarters are located in Knoxville, TN. A-D Technologies has six
manufacturing plants in the United States, two manufacturing plants and offices in Mexico, one manufacturing plant and offices in the Czech Republic and two manufacturing plants and offices in India.
