          Ameron Acquires Fiberglass Pipe Company in Brazil


    PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 5, 2007--Ameron
International Corporation (NYSE:AMN) announced today that the Company
had completed the acquisition of Polyplaster, Ltda., a
privately-owned, fiberglass-pipe manufacturer located in Betim,
Brazil, near the city of Belo Horizonte. Polyplaster primarily
supplies polyester, fiberglass-pipe systems to the water, wastewater
and industrial markets in Brazil.

    Polyplaster is expected to provide Ameron with a solid base
business and the foundation for an expansion program in South America.
Additionally, Ameron plans to construct two new plants in Betim,
Brazil in the near future. One plant will be dedicated to the
production of Ameron's Centron fiberglass-pipe product for onshore
oilfield applications. The other will be dedicated to the production
of Ameron's Bondstrand(R) epoxy fiberglass-pipe products for marine
vessels and offshore platforms and a wide range of chemical and
industrial applications. Ameron plans to serve all South American
markets from Brazil. The demand for epoxy fiberglass pipe in South
America is strong, and the Company expects to significantly enhance
its competitive position in South America with these investments.

    James S. Marlen, Ameron's Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer, stated, "Polyplaster has been a consistently profitable and
well-managed business, and it represents an excellent strategic fit.
Ameron is a global leader in the composite-pipe industry with plants
in the U.S., Asia and Europe. Importantly, Polyplaster will be
instrumental in executing Ameron's growth strategy in South America."

    Ameron International Corporation is a multinational manufacturer
of highly-engineered products and materials for the chemical,
industrial, energy, transportation and infrastructure markets. Traded
on the New York Stock Exchange (AMN), Ameron is a leading producer of
water transmission lines and fabricated steel products, such as wind
towers; fiberglass-composite pipe for transporting oil, chemicals and
corrosive fluids and specialized materials and products used in
infrastructure projects. The Company operates businesses in North
America, South America, Europe and Asia. It also participates in
several joint-venture companies in the U.S. and the Middle East.
