<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>GORMAN-RUPP SUBSIDIARY MANUFACTURES MASSIVE PUMPS FOR FLOOD AND
LEVEE PROTECTION</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Mansfield, Ohio &#150; June&nbsp;23, 2006 &#150; Patterson Pump Company, Toccoa, Georgia, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Gorman-Rupp Company (AMEX: GRC) has manufactured and shipped the first of six
massive pumps for flood control and levee protection in two watersheds of the Velasco Drainage
District headquartered in Clute, Texas. The remaining five pumps and related components are
scheduled to be shipped later during 2006. The amount of this order is in excess of $6.9&nbsp;million.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Each pump can move 260,000 gallons of water per minute and is powered by a 2000 horsepower engine.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Velasco Drainage District includes industrial coastal floodplain on the Gulf of Mexico that has
sustained storm-surge flooding as a result of hurricanes in recent years. Two of the District&#146;s
watersheds are located behind 53 miles of levees. Studies showed that expanded pumping capacity
would be necessary to protect the areas from flooding resulting from a Category 3 or
higher hurricane. The District authorized a $33&nbsp;million project to increase the capacity of two of
its pumping stations from 1.69&nbsp;million gallons per minute to 3.19&nbsp;million gallons per minute.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Albert Huber, President of Patterson Pump Company said, &#147;Patterson is pleased that it could
participate in this important flood and levee protection effort.&#148; He also noted that Patterson has
produced pumps capable of moving up to 315,000 gallons of water per minute and is one of few
companies in the world capable of producing pumps of this size.
