ZAHROOF VALVES TEAM TO PRESENT CLASS AT EGCR 2022

<p>Houston, TX, March 29, 2022 – Compressor valve manufacturer Zahroof Valves, Inc. (ZVI), has announced an agreement in which compression and equipment service specialist Arkos Field Services partners as an authorized service provider in the USA. This arrangement provides ZVI customers with enhanced access to locally stocked parts and support expertise.</p>
<p>ZVI developed the patented StraightFlo™ reciprocating compressor valve with modular reed technology, which delivers a quantum improvement in valve performance, serviceability, and reliability.</p>
<p>“The installed base of StraightFlo™ valves is large and continues expanding rapidly,” said Jim Ilaria, Chief Executive Officer of ZVI. “As it grows, we’re committed to maintaining a best-in-class level of support. As a premier industry specialist, Arkos will help us maintain unmatched customer care.”</p>
<p>“With this partnership, our customers can now reach out to a local Arkos service center for modules, repair kits, and other accessories to maintain the uptime of their compressors. When on-site service is needed, they have the ability to call out certified Arkos technicians who are based within a reasonable driving distance.”</p>
<p>“Customers can also benefit when working with Arkos on make-ready and rebuild projects,” said ZVI Senior Vice President Javvad Qasimi. “While other work is being performed, Arkos can seamlessly upgrade to StraightFlo™ compressor valves. This adds substantial value to the rebuild in terms of compressor performance, reliability, emissions reduction, and valve inventory savings. A majority of those valve upgrades can be completed by Arkos using StraightFlo™ valves already in stock. From that point forward the customer continues to benefit from Arkos’ rapid response times and expertise for valve-related support.”</p>

ZAHROOF VALVES JOINS SOUTHERN GAS ASSOCIATION

<p>Houston, TX, February 16, 2022 – Zahroof Valves, Inc. (ZVI), the gas compression industry’s leading valve technology provider, has appointed two new members to its executive team. Jim Ilaria has been named Chief  Executive Officer of the company and Javvad Qasimi has assumed the role of Senior Vice President.</p>
<p>At a time when compressor operators face ever-increasing challenges related to profitability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, the new executive team will help facilitate ZVI’s proven solutions for true sustainability. In the near term, the team will oversee multiple new product launches while accelerating the company’s growth, customer service, and operational excellence.</p>
<h3>Jim Ilaria, Chief Executive Officer</h3>
<p>Prior to joining ZVI, new Chief Executive Officer Jim Ilaria led seven corporate transformations as CEO or President of private-equity-sponsored middle market firms in industrial and consumer businesses.

Ilaria earned an MBA from Columbia Business School and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Rutgers University.<br />
In addressing his role and the company’s strategy, Ilaria said, “Our product line and our approach to the market is a genuine departure from the last 100 years of compressor valve development. In short, what we do best is what the marketplace now needs the most. We have compelling proof of cost savings and efficiency, but what resonates strongly with customers in an ESG-sensitive environment is the ability of our valves to stop emissions<br />
– not just incrementally, but dramatically across all of their compression assets.”</p>
<h3>Javvad Qasimi, Senior Vice President</h3>
<p>Senior Vice President Javvad Qasimi has more than 18 years of industry experience in various leadership roles. Most recently, he served the energy segment as global sales and [MORE] marketing director for ChampionX.

He is a Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, a Project Management Professional (PMP), and inventor of more than a dozen patents related to engineering products geared towards the industrial businesses. “Zahroof Valves, Inc has a powerful value proposition for reciprocating compressor operators,” said Qasimi. “Our valves use patented StraightFlo™ modular reed technology that provides much longer operating intervals than traditional plate or poppet valves. In addition to cost savings, operators now have a significant source reduction opportunity, enabling them to lower their methane intensity and hit their net zero voluntary<br />
commitments.”</p>
