Rexnord LLC announced today that Zurn Industries, LLC, is wholly owned water management subsidiary, ('Zurn'), entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the stock of Fontaine-Alliance Inc. and affiliates (Fontaine) for a cash purchase price of $30 million Canadian dollars (CAD) (including the assumption of debt). The acquisition is expected to close in the first calendar quarter of 2009. Fontaine manufactures sluice gates and other engineered flow control products for the municipal water and wastewater markets. Fontaine is based in Magog, Quebec, Canada.
