Hello Lockwood!
I hope this finds you all doing great. The
year is flying by and we’re all so busy, but we
need to take time to make connections and
hopefully, this newsletter will help us to do just
that.
In this edition, Mike Lockwood, President,
shares his thoughts and news. Tom Lockwood,
Vice President, writes a piece entitled “Paper
China”.
We would like to extend a special “thank
you” to some of our clients who were kind
enough to share some unbelievable project
pictures with us. They might help put into
perspective the magnitude of projects that
Lockwood is involved in.
Our Branch Spotlight is on Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. Tim Yon and crew share some insight
and history. Thank you, Tim, for contributing
such a nice story.
As usual, a warm hello to our newest team
members, a shout-out for birthdays, births, and
engagements/marriages, the tenure section, and
a look back in “Time Goes By”. Thank you for
story contributions by employees - please let
them know that you read their story.
Thank you for all the participation in putting
out this quarter’s newsletter. Let’s keep that
momentum going.
If you want to read about your department or
branch send us a story, make some news, do
some bragging. We’d love to hear from you.

The Baton Rouge Branch recently reached its seven year anniversary. The
branch was established in June 2001 when Mike Lockwood leased a 20,000 sq.
foot warehouse building, hired Tim Yon and Baton Rouge was “off to the valve
races”. Tim promptly hired his first two choices … Paula Crawford for Sales, for
both Exxon and non-Exxon, and Louis Dixon as the warehouse manager. In
August, after a brief orientation and training period and setting up and stocking the

Letter from the President

C H A N G E
“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most
responsive to change.”
Learn to embrace change, and you’ll begin to recognize that life is in constant motion, and every
change happens for a reason. When you see boundaries as opportunities, the world becomes a
limitless place, and your life becomes a journey of change that always finds its way.
A N N O U N C E M E N T S
Our company is certainly undergoing dramatic changes. In the last two years
our company has doubled in size and we will double again over the next two years.
This exponential growth at this rapid rate presents tremendous growth
opportunities for over 250 employees (and counting). All of our branches are
flourishing and we are opening several new locations. Anyone looking for a change
in scenery, please discuss the possibilities with Darlene Garza in Human
Resources and your respective manager.
One of the changes that I am most proud of is the promotion of June Yonkman
to Vice President, Commercial Manager. June’s hard work and dedication have
been instrumental in our growth and her leadership will be even more valuable as
we continue to build our company. Please share with me as we applaud June’s new
position and a job well done.

Chief Financial Officer
Betty Allen (CFO) took a few precious moments to share her departmental
happenings with us.
All branch acquisitions and renovations require her
involvement and she has been very busy indeed.
In Houston, the Maintenance Department has been
spending time at the new property on Bennington Road
(about 5 miles from Houston Corporate Headquarters). The
facility has about 3,000 sq. ft. of office and over 90,000 in
warehouse space. Renovations will begin shortly and should
be ready for occupancy before year end.
July 15, Building B at Houston Corporate Headquarters
will be completed and ready for occupancy barring delays.
Betty Allen
Chief Financial Officer
Betty is excited about Lockwood’s success-past, present and future. She says
its always a good idea to save a nickel or two for a rainy day, but we should all be
proud of what we are growing here at Lockwood, and appreciate the success.

South Africa News: Written by Vince Pittman
Lockwood South Africa has been nominated as one of the top emerging
“Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment” (BBBEE) companies of
2008, in the small business sector. The nomination is in recognition of our
participation and excellence in the different pillars of BBBEE. We are
especially proud of our progression and recognition in this area, as it means
that someone in our industry has recognized our efforts. Full credit for this
nomination and our success in Black Economic Employment goes to our
department lead and compliance officer, Kim Paul. Our participation in
BBBEE is important for two reasons: 1) it shows Lockwood’s dedication
and willingness to improve the lives of our employees and their
communities, and 2) it is an integral part of the qualification process in
reviewing our ability to participate in Capital Projects. Let’s all give a hand
to Kim and the employees of Lockwood South Africa for their efforts and
hard work.
Business Brief:
Proudly, Lockwood International, Inc. was recently invited to become BBB
accredited in the Greater Houston, TX area. The BBB (Better Business
Bureau) is a U.S. Organization whose purpose is to act as a mutually trusted
intermediary between consumers and businesses to resolve disputes, to
facilitate communication, and to provide information on ethical business
practices. We encourage all branches who are invited to take the time to
complete the application process.

Need-to-Know News
PAPER CHINA
written by Tom Lockwood
I wanted to write to my co-workers about China, and how it is affecting our lives, not only personally, but professionally.
On a personal level we are able to purchase a variety of goods very inexpensively. China has saved all of us money. On the
flip side China is the world’s largest polluter, has a poor human rights record, and is just not the world’s best citizen. For
example, if you took the 20 most polluted cities in the world, 12 are in China and this number is growing.
What a challenge for the Western World - stop buying from China until they address their global issues or just continue to
reap the benefits of low cost goods. To date the low cost goods are winning. And that is our challenge in the valve business today. All end users
claim they do not want Chinese valves, but they certainly want to entertain the lowest bid. Currently, all end users are buying Chinese valves in
some capacity, and they still have a hard time admitting this. So, the challenge is how do you compete and supply quality products? Especially when
one end user may approve a manufacturing facility and others do not. What about when an end user approves a mill for alloy materials and no one
else does. Do you quote that product to that end user or go with a known product?
As a visitor to China on many occasions I can tell you the range of quality from factory to factory is huge. The other problem is the level of
experience of the auditors is very broad as well. In short, you have huge discrepancies on what is a high quality product, what is the level of
consistency, and what is the manufacturing range. And unfortunately the auditor may not be qualified to make that decision, but as an end user’s
representative, he has to make some decision, so the end result is inconsistency among the end users.
As for Lockwood, Neway is the premier valve company in China. They have their issues like any company, but for class 150 & 300, WCB valves
they are solid. TY-China is also a good facility, but with all Korean components, less the castings, they are not as competitive as a 100 percent
Chinese valve.
The big question is how do you know you are selling a quality product? Fortunately, we have an excellent technical team that could rival any end
user’s team of experts on qualifying a valve factory. Benny Howard, who is our Quality Manger and audited 50+ valve factories for Dow Chemical,
prior to retirement, has a wealth of knowledge in valve manufacturing. Barrie Kirkman who retired from BP as their valve expert for downstream is
perfect for China. The arrogance of the British comes out of Barrie while in China, and he makes it very clear to the Chinese what they need to do. A
trip to China without Barrie is rather boring to say the least. Then there is KJ Lee who ran TY for 30 years. As you all have probably noticed by now
we rarely have a casting issue with TY. KJ’s knowledge of foundry work is invaluable in China. So, with these gentleman performing the audits,
making recommendations, and following up on a regular basis, I see no major problems for us with China. That is not to say we can just enter orders
and wait for shipments, we have to constantly monitor China, but I think we have a good handle on what we are currently buying. The next
challenge is with 4000 valve factories in China, there is always a better price.
...ACCORDING TO RENEE
written by Renee Roberts
I spent the week of June 9 th thru the 13 th at our Chicago branch for training in the Aplus/AS400. It was a
pleasure working with all of them. Chicago consists of 6 people-Matt Cassidy & Anne Vickery (outside sales), Cathy
Erickson is the branch manager with Gwen Jepsen as sales assistant, and the warehouse consists of Bill Nothos and Tom
Sievert. We worked on the basics of AS400, order entry, special order processing, special order transfers, etc. It went
very well. Thank you Chicago for making me feel so welcome!
I will be in California the week of July 14 th thru the 18 th for training with our branch there.

Matt Cassidy is excited about renovations in the Chicago facility, which Judy is orchestrating. A
contractor will be selected within the next couple of weeks and construction will begin shortly. Offices will
be added as well as revamping the kitchen and bathrooms. Be sure to send pictures when its finished
Matt!!!
New property (approx. 5 acres) has been purchased in Port Arthur, TX near Beaumont where plans to
build an 52,000 sq. ft. Warehouse and 4,000 sq. ft. office space are underway. The project should be
complete in seven or eight months, barring delays.
Doug Diefendorf is recovering from injuries from a motorcycle accident on Wallisville Road about
three weeks ago. Speedy recovery Doug, and that is a good reminder to all to not only be careful, but drive
like the other guy isn’t (being careful). Daniel Trevino joins Judy’s group in the Maintenance Department
as part of our maintenance crew. Judy’s plans include visiting all branches this year to evaluate their
needs to begin implementing improvements.

Hello from sunny Sarnia:
For those of you that don’t know where we are in the world, Sarnia sits at the bottom of Lake Huron at the mouth of the St. Clair
River, that runs down towards Detroit into Lake Erie. We are a border crossing into the U.S.A. at the town of Port Huron.
Because we are on the Great Lakes we have lots of fun things to do here in Sarnia. There are the beaches, parks, fishing or you
can just drive down to the lake or river to watch enormous barges and boats of all kinds cruising in and out the lake. Just last
weekend, the “Tall Ships” came in for all to see. We are especially lucky this time of year as us Canadians have our Canada Day on
July 1 st with it’s many celebrations and fireworks. Then
we get to go down to the river and watch the fireworks on
the Port Huron side on July 4 th . Next month will be the
motor boat races, from sail boats to cigar boats, there is
lots to enjoy here in Sarnia.
We would like to say “Hi” from the Sarnia Branch crew
and we have finally got our photo spread for you all. Now
you can put our names to our handsome faces. Have a great summer wherever you are!

BRANCH SPOTLIGHT-
Baton Rouge, the second Lockwood branch outside of Houston to open, following Edmonton... Tim Yon wrote the following article about his branch and his
people:
front left - Kathy Bryant, Paula Crawford
(back) left to right - Blaine Ferryman, Tim Ezell, Tim Yon.
The Baton Rouge Branch recently reached its seven year anniversary. The
branch was established in June 2001 when Mike Lockwood leased a 20,000 sq.
foot warehouse building, hired Tim Yon and Baton Rouge was “off to the valve
races”. Tim promptly hired his first two choices … Paula Crawford for Sales,
for both Exxon and non-Exxon, and Louis Dixon as the warehouse manager. In
August, after a brief orientation and training period and setting up and stocking
the warehouse, the branch began to service ExxonMobil’s Baton Rouge
complex that consists of Exxon’s second largest refinery (second to Baytown), a
chemical plant, and plastics, resins and olefins facilities.
One of the characteristics of the Baton Rouge Branch that one cannot help
noticing is the stability and continuity of its staff. Paula, Louis and Tim have
been on board since day 1. Kathy Bryant and Anthony Anderson joined the
company one year later. All five are still “on the team”. Edmonton’s Ryan
Hehr transferred to Baton Rouge in 2003 and suffered through the heat and humidity for three years before
surrendering and returning to the cooler temperatures of Edmonton in 2006.
Baton Rouge receives many compliments from its customers and visitors on its orderly clean
warehouse which is anchored by Louis Dixon and Anthony Anderson. When not wearing the Lockwood
“uniform”, Louis is busy as the Praise Leader at his church, the Prevailing Word Christian Center in
Morganza, Louisiana. Louis’s engaging smile is the first thing worshippers see when arriving on Sunday
morning. The worship service begins with Louis and his baritone
Barrie White like voice leading or performing the opening hymns. In
his spare time, Louis fabricates barbeque pits.
Anthony is equally active in his church, the Full
Gospel UPC where he teaches youth group Sunday School to 11 – 13
year olds. Anthony also coaches youth football in Baton Rouge’s
park and recreation league. Including having patience with 11 and 12
year old players, Anthony’s successful high school football career
adds to his coaching credentials. Scoring three touchdowns on
homecoming night of his senior year at Brusly High School is a
personal highlight. (Anthony surely enjoyed being the star of the
game at the homecoming dance that night.)
The branch remained in the leased location for three years before purchasing a 15,000 square foot
building one-half mile down the street. The newly acquired building had previously been utilized as an
indoor batting cage and baseball instruction facility complete with lighted field to the rear of the building.

Background - 67’ Pontiac GTO
After renovations inside the warehouse and addition of office space, the branch relocated to the new facility at
the end of 2004.
For those of you who have detected similar sounding voices when calling Baton Rouge, you may be
interested to know there’s a reason: Paula Crawford and Kathy Bryant are sisters … you’ll have to ask one of
them which is the older. Paula and Kathy also worked together at Zidell before joining Lockwood.
Coincidentally Paula and Kathy’s dad, Jake Pequet, retired from Exxon Purchasing in the mid 1980’s.

will be mentioned let’s allow it to represent
the ones we have lost. They are a part of
who we are and will never be forgotten.
Five inexcusable - excuses for NOT reporting to
work.
1 . I dreamed that I was fired, so I didn’t
want to get out of bed.
2 . A raccoon stole my work boots off my
porch.
3 . I wasn’t thinking and accidentally went to
my old job.
4 . I didn’t have money for gas because all of
the pawn shops were closed.
5 . I just wasn’t “feelin’ it” this morning.
Thank you all for your efforts to be on time
and responsible!
