<DIV align="center" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt"><B>IDEX CORPORATION NAMES ANDREW SILVERNAIL AS NEW CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Lake Forest, IL, August&nbsp;8, 2011: IDEX Corporation (NYSE: IEX) today announced the promotion of
Andrew Silvernail to the position of Chief Executive Officer,
effective August&nbsp;10, 2011, succeeding
Larry Kingsley who indicated his plans to leave IDEX to assume the
position of Chief Executive Officer of Pall Corporation. Mr.&nbsp;Silvernail was also appointed to the company&#146;s board of directors, effective
August&nbsp;9, 2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mr.&nbsp;Silvernail joined IDEX in January&nbsp;2009, and most recently held the position of Vice President
and Group Executive, leading three of the company&#146;s business segments &#151; Health &#038; Science
Technologies, Dispensing, and Fire &#038; Safety/Diversified Products &#151; comprising more than half the
company&#146;s annual revenue. His experience prior to joining IDEX included positions of increasing
general management responsibility at Rexnord, Newell Rubbermaid, and Danaher Corporation. Mr.
Silvernail holds an A.B. from Dartmouth College and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">To facilitate an orderly transition of leadership, Larry Kingsley will remain as Chairman of the
company&#146;s board of directors. Mr.&nbsp;Kingsley is expected to step down as Chairman of the board of
directors by December&nbsp;31, 2011.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;Andy Silvernail is an outstanding executive, who has demonstrated great leadership abilities in
the two years he has been with IDEX,&#148; said Kingsley. &#147;Andy has been instrumental in developing our
Health and Science segment while delivering consistent results in all three business segments.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Michael
Tokarz, a member of IDEX's board of directors, noted &#147;Larry Kingsley brought great vision
and business execution to IDEX as our CEO over these past seven years. The company is extremely
well positioned as a differentiated technology supplier to industry-leading customers in attractive
end markets. We will miss his continued contributions. At the same time, we are fortunate to have
such an accomplished executive as Andy Silvernail in place, knowledgeable about the business, and
ready to lead the company&#146;s strategic direction. This promotion is the natural outgrowth of the
succession planning and leadership development processes the company has deployed across its
managerial levels.&#148;
