Tulsa, Oklahoma, October 29, 2007 – North American Galvanizing & Coatings, Inc.

Revenues for the nine months rose 27% to $68.2 million compared to $53.8 million for the comparable period last year.

Commenting on the results of the third quarter 2007, Ronald J. Evans, president and chief executive officer, said “Strong overall market demand for hot-dip galvanizing continued to support the conditions for the Company to achieve record results.  Strong customer demand, enhanced operating efficiencies, ongoing cost control and improved pricing, all contributed toward our record profitability.    Evans added, “I am also pleased to report that the scheduled installation of a new and bigger galvanizing kettle and furnace in our Canton, Ohio facility was completed on time and budget.”  The plant was shutdown for approximately three weeks in early July.

The Company purchased 28,500 shares of its common stock for the treasury in open market transactions at an average price of $5.33 per share during the quarter.  The Company’s stock buyback program has a remaining balance of $.6 million.
