                                   PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL

Gardner Denver, Inc. ("Gardner Denver" or the "Company") believes, based on
total sales in the United States, it is one of the leading manufacturers of
stationary air compressors and blowers for industrial applications.
Stationary air compressors are used in manufacturing, process applications
and materials handling, and to power air tools and equipment. Blowers are
used primarily in pneumatic conveying, wastewater aeration and engineered
vacuum systems. Gardner Denver also believes that it is one of the leading
manufacturers of pumps used in oil and natural gas production,
well-servicing and drilling and water jetting systems.

In 2001, Gardner Denver had revenues of $419.8 million, of which
approximately 73 percent were derived from sales of compressed air products
while approximately 27 percent were from sales of pump products.
Approximately 70 percent of the total revenues in 2001 were derived from
sales in the United States and approximately 30 percent were from sales to
customers in various countries outside the United States. Of the total
non-U.S. sales, 51 percent were to Europe, 19 percent to Canada, 14 percent
to Latin America, 11 percent to Asia and the remainder to Africa, the Middle
East and Australia.

HISTORY

The Company's business of manufacturing industrial and petroleum equipment
began in 1859 when Robert W. Gardner redesigned the fly-ball governor to
provide speed control for steam engines. By 1900, the then Gardner Company
had expanded its product line to include steam pumps and vertical high-speed
air compressors. In 1927, the Gardner Company merged with Denver Rock Drill,
a manufacturer of equipment for oil wells and mining and construction, and
became the Gardner-Denver Company. In 1979, the Gardner-Denver Company was
acquired by Cooper Industries, Inc. ("Cooper") and operated as 10
unincorporated divisions. Two of these divisions, the Gardner-Denver Air
Compressor Division and the Petroleum Equipment Division, were combined in
1985 to form the Gardner-Denver Industrial Machinery Division (the
"Division"). The OPI(R) pump product line was purchased in 1985 and added to
the Division. In 1987, Cooper acquired the Sutorbilt(R) and DuroFlow(R)
blower product lines and the Joy(R) industrial compressor product line,
which were also consolidated into the Division. Effective December 31, 1993,
the assets and liabilities of the Division were transferred by Cooper to the
Company, which had been formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cooper. On
April 15, 1994, the Company was spun-off as an independent company to the
shareholders of Cooper.

Gardner Denver has completed fourteen acquisitions since becoming an
independent company. In 1996, Gardner Denver acquired NORAMPTCO, Inc.,
renamed Gardner Denver Holdings Inc., and its primary operating subsidiary
Lamson Corporation ("Lamson"). Lamson designs, manufactures and sells
multistage centrifugal blowers and exhausters used in various industrial and
wastewater applications. Lamson's products complemented the Company's
product offering by enabling it to expand its participation in environmental
and industrial segments requiring air and gas management.

Also in 1996, the Company acquired TCM Investments, Inc., an oilfield pump
manufacturer based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This acquisition extended the
Company's well stimulation pump


                                     1





product line, provided a physical presence in the oilfield market and
allowed Gardner Denver to become a major supplier of repair parts and
remanufacturing services to some of the Company's customers.

In 1997, the Company acquired Oy Tamrotor Ab ("Tamrotor"), located in
Tampere, Finland. Tamrotor designs and manufactures lubricated rotary screw
compressor air ends and packages. The addition of Tamrotor provided the
Company with a manufacturing base in Europe and growth opportunities through
complementary product lines and international market penetration. In 1999,
the Company liquidated Tamrotor and now conducts business in Finland as
Gardner Denver OY.

In January 1998, the Company purchased Champion Pneumatic Machinery Company,
Inc. ("Champion"). Champion, located in Princeton, Illinois, is a leading
manufacturer of low horsepower reciprocating compressors. Champion opened
new market opportunities for Gardner Denver products and expanded the range
of reciprocating compressors available to existing distributors.

In January 1998, the Company also acquired Geological Equipment Corporation
("Geoquip"), a leading manufacturer of pumps, ranging from 350 to 2,400
horsepower, in Fort Worth, Texas. The operation also remanufactures pumps
and provides repair services. The addition of Geoquip enhanced the Gardner
Denver well servicing product line, expanded the Company's presence in
remanufacturing and repair services and introduced the Company to the water
jetting market.

The Company purchased the Wittig Division of Mannesmann Demag AG ("Wittig")
in March 1998. Wittig, located in Schopfheim, Germany, is a leading
manufacturer of rotary sliding vane compressors and vacuum pumps. Wittig's
products primarily serve the truck blower market for liquid and dry bulk
conveyance, as well as other industrial applications. The acquisition of
Wittig expanded the Company's manufacturing presence in Europe and provided
distribution channels for its blower products, which are produced in the
United States.

In April 1999, the Company acquired Allen-Stuart Equipment Company, Inc.
("Allen-Stuart"), located in Houston, Texas. Allen-Stuart, which also
conducts business as the Gardner Denver Engineered Packaging Center,
designs, fabricates and services custom-engineered packages for blower and
compressor equipment in air and gas applications. The addition of
Allen-Stuart enhanced the Company's ability to supply engineered packages,
incorporating the wide range of compressor and blower products manufactured
by Gardner Denver.

In April 1999, the Company also purchased Butterworth Jetting Systems, Inc.,
a manufacturer of water jet pumps and systems serving the industrial
cleaning and maintenance market, located in Houston, Texas. This operation,
which was renamed Gardner Denver Water Jetting Systems, Inc., expanded the
Company's position in the rapidly growing water jet market.

In October 1999, the Company acquired Air Relief, Inc. ("Air Relief"),
located in Mayfield, Kentucky. Air Relief is an independent provider of
replacement parts and service for centrifugal compressors. This operation
enhanced the Company's ability to penetrate the centrifugal compressor
market by adding key engineering, assembly, sales and service capabilities.

In January 2000, the Company acquired Invincible Airflow Systems, Co.
("Invincible"). Invincible, located in Baltic, Ohio, manufactures single and
fabricated multistage centrifugal


                                     2





blowers and engineered vacuum systems. Invincible extends Gardner Denver's
product offering for the industrial cleaning market and introduces the
Company's centrifugal blowers to new markets.

The Company acquired Jetting Systems & Accessories, Inc. ("JSA") in April
2000 and CRS Power Flow, Inc. ("CRS") in July 2000. JSA and CRS are located
in Houston, Texas, and both manufacture aftermarket products for the water
jetting industry. These two acquisitions complement the Company's product
offering for the water jetting market and further leverage Gardner Denver's
commitment to being a full service provider in the water jetting industry.

In September 2001, the Company acquired Hamworthy Belliss & Morcom ("Belliss
& Morcom"), headquartered in Gloucester, England. Belliss & Morcom
manufactures and distributes reciprocating air compressors used for a
variety of niche applications, such as polyethylene terephthalate ("PET")
bottle blowing, breathing air equipment and compressed natural gas. The
acquisition of Belliss & Morcom broadens the Company's range of product
offerings, strengthens its distribution and service networks and increases
its participation in sales of products with applications that have the
potential to grow faster than the overall industrial economy.

In September 2001, the Company also acquired Hoffman Air and Filtration
Systems ("Hoffman"). Hoffman, headquartered in Syracuse, New York,
manufactures and distributes multistage centrifugal blowers and vacuum
systems, primarily for wastewater treatment and industrial applications. The
acquisition of Hoffman expands Gardner Denver's product offering and
distribution capabilities and enhances its position as a leading
international supplier of centrifugal products to the air and gas handling
industry.

MARKETS AND PRODUCTS

Gardner Denver designs, manufactures and markets compressed air products and
pump products. A description of the particular products manufactured and
sold by Gardner Denver in its two reportable segments is set forth below.

                                     3





Blowers are used to produce a high volume of air at low pressures and
vacuums. Centrifugal blowers produce a constant level of pressure and
varying volumes of airflow. Positive displacement blowers provide a constant
volume of airflow at varying levels of pressure. The Company's positive
displacement blowers range from 0 to 36 pounds per square inch gauge (PSIG)
pressure and 0-28 inches of mercury ("Hg) vacuum and 0 to 43,000 cubic feet
per minute (CFM) and are sold under the trademarks Sutorbilt(R),
DuroFlow(R), CycloBlower(R) and TurboTron(R). The Company's multistage
centrifugal blowers are sold under the tradenames Lamson(R) and Hoffman(R)
and range from 0.5 to 25 PSIG pressure and 0-18 "Hg vacuum and 100 to 50,000
CFM. The Company's rotary sliding vane compressors and vacuum pumps range

Wittig(R).

The Company's engineered vacuum systems are used in industrial cleaning and
maintenance and are sold under the Invincible(R) and Cat Vac(R) tradenames.

Almost all domestic manufacturing plants and industrial facilities, as well
as many service industries, utilize air compressors and/or blowers. The
largest customers for Gardner Denver's compressor products are durable and
non-durable goods manufacturers; process industries (petroleum, primary
metals, pharmaceutical, food and paper); original equipment manufacturers
("OEMs"); manufacturers of carpet cleaning equipment, pneumatic conveying
equipment, and dry and liquid bulk transports; wastewater treatment
facilities; and automotive service centers and niche applications such as
polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") bottle blowing, breathing air equipment
and compressed natural gas.

Manufacturers of machinery and related equipment use stationary compressors
for automated systems, controls, materials handling and special machinery
requirements. The petroleum, primary metals, pharmaceutical, food and paper
industries require compressed air for process, instrumentation and control,
packaging and pneumatic conveying.

Blowers are instrumental to local utilities for aeration in treating
industrial and municipal waste. Blowers are also used in service industries,
for example, residential carpet cleaning to vacuum moisture from carpets
during the shampooing and cleaning process. Blowers and rotary vane
compressors are used on trucks to vacuum leaves and debris from street
sewers and to unload liquid and dry bulk and powder materials such as
cement, grain and plastic pellets. Additionally, blowers are used in
numerous chemical process applications.

Pump Products Segment

Gardner Denver designs, manufactures, markets and services a diverse group
of pumps, water jetting systems and related aftermarket parts used in
oil and natural gas production, well servicing and drilling and industrial
cleaning and maintenance. Sales of pump products in 2001 were $111.7 million,
of which approximately 82 percent were to customers in the United States.

Positive displacement reciprocating pumps are marketed under the Gardner
Denver(R), Geoquip(R), Ajax(R) and OPI(R) trademarks. Typical applications
of Gardner Denver(R) pumps in oil and natural gas production include oil
transfer, water flooding, salt water disposal, pipeline testing, ammine
pumping for gas processing, re-pressurizing, enhanced oil recovery,
hydraulic


                                     4





power and other liquid transfer applications. Gardner Denver's production
pumps range from 16 to 600 horsepower and consist of horizontal and vertical
designed pumps.

Gardner Denver markets one of the most complete product lines of well
servicing pumps. Well servicing operations include general workover service,
completions (bringing wells into production after drilling), and plugging
and abandonment of wells. Gardner Denver's well servicing products consist
of high pressure plunger pumps ranging from 165 to 400 horsepower.

Gardner Denver also manufactures intermittent duty triplex and quintuplex
plunger pumps ranging from 250 to 3,000 horsepower for well cementing and
stimulation, including reservoir fracturing or acidizing. Duplex pumps,
ranging from 16 to 135 horsepower, are produced for shallow drilling, which
includes water well drilling, seismic drilling and mineral exploration.
Continuous duty triplex mud pumps for oil and natural gas drilling rigs
range from 275 to 2,000 horsepower. A small portion of Gardner Denver(R) and
Ajax(R) pumps are sold for use in industrial applications.

The Company's water jetting systems are used in industrial cleaning and
maintenance and are sold under the Liqua-Blaster(R) and American Water
Blaster(R) trademarks. Applications in this market include runway and
shiphull cleaning, concrete demolition and metal surface preparation.

For financial information over the past three years on the Company's
performance by industry segment and the Company's international sales, refer
to Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
Gardner Denver's 2001 Annual Report to Stockholders and incorporated herein
by reference.

CUSTOMERS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE

Gardner Denver sells its products through independent distributors and sales
representatives and directly to OEMs, engineering firms and end users.
Gardner Denver uses a direct sales force to service OEM and engineering firm
accounts because these typically require more technical assistance, shipment
scheduling and product service.

As a majority of Gardner Denver's products are marketed through independent
distribution, Gardner Denver is committed to developing and supporting its
distribution network of over 1,500 distributors and representatives. Gardner
Denver has a Master Distribution Center in Memphis, Tennessee that stocks
parts, accessories, blowers and small compressor products in order to
provide adequate and timely availability. Gardner Denver also provides its
distributors with sales and product literature, technical assistance and
training programs, advertising and sales promotions, order-entry and
tracking systems and an annual restocking program. Gardner Denver
participates in major trade shows and has a telemarketing department to
generate sales leads and support the distributors' sales staffs.

The Company's distributors maintain an inventory of complete units and parts
and provide aftermarket service to end users. There are several hundred
field service representatives for Gardner Denver products in the distributor
network. Gardner Denver's service personnel and product engineers provide
the distributors' service representatives with technical assistance and


                                     5





field training, particularly with respect to installation and repair of
equipment.

Gardner Denver also provides aftermarket support through its remanufacturing
facilities in Indianapolis, Indiana; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and Mayfield,
Kentucky. The Indianapolis operation remanufactures and repairs air ends for
rotary screw compressors, blowers and reciprocating compressors. The Tulsa
facility repairs and remanufactures well servicing pumps. The Mayfield
operation provides aftermarket parts and repairs for centrifugal
compressors.

Outside the United States, Gardner Denver markets its products through a
network of sales representatives, as well as distributors and direct sales
persons. As a result of the Lamson, Wittig and Hoffman acquisitions, the
Company operates blower packaging operations in Canada, France, Germany and
the United Kingdom. As a result of the Tamrotor and Bellis & Morcom
acquisitions, the Company operates compressor manufacturing and packaging
facilities in Canada, Finland and the United Kingdom.

COMPETITION

Gardner Denver's principal competitors in sales of compressed air products
include Ingersoll-Rand, Sullair (owned by United Technologies Corporation),
Atlas Copco, Quincy Compressor (owned by En Pro Industries, a subsidiary of
Goodrich Corporation), CompAir (owned by Invensys P.L.C.) and Roots (owned
by Dresser Inc.). The principal competitors in sales of petroleum pump
products include National-Oilwell and SPM Flow Control, Inc. The principal
competitors in sales of water jetting systems include NLB Corp., WOMA
Apparatebau GmbH and Hammelmann Maschinenfabrik GmbH. Each of the Company's
business segments has a strong reputation and the Company's trademarks are
recognized both domestically and internationally.

Demand for compressed air products is dependent upon capital spending by
manufacturing and process industries, and general economic conditions.
Demand for pump products is primarily tied to the number of working and
available drilling rigs and oil and natural gas prices. The principal
competitive factors in both segments are quality, performance, price and
availability. The relative importance of each of these factors varies
depending on the specific type of product.

Compressed air and pump products are best characterized as mature, with
steady and slow technological advances. Technological trends in compressed
air products include, among others, development of oil-free air compressors,
increased product efficiency, reduction of noise levels, and advanced
control systems to upgrade the flexibility and precision of regulating
pressure and capacity. Emerging compressed air products market niches result
from new technologies in plastics extrusion, oil and natural gas well
drilling, field gas gathering, mobile and stationary vacuum applications,
utility and fiber optic installation, environmental impact minimization, as
well as other factors. Trends in pump products include, among others,
development of larger horsepower and lighter weight pumps.


                                     6





RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company actively engages in a continuing research and development
program. The Gardner Denver research and development centers are dedicated
to various activities, including new product development, product
performance improvement and new product applications.

Gardner Denver's products are designed to satisfy the safety and performance
standards set by various industry groups and testing laboratories. Care is
exercised throughout the manufacturing and final testing process to ensure
that products conform to industry, government and customer specifications.

Gardner Denver has representatives on the American Petroleum Institute's
working committee and the Company has relationships with standard
enforcement organizations such as Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.), Det
Norske Veritas (DNV) and the Canadian Standard Association (C.S.A.). The
Company maintains ISO 9001 certification on the quality systems at a
majority of its manufacturing and design locations.

Expenditures for research and development sponsored by the Company were
$2.5 million in 2001, $3.0 million in 2000 and $2.8 million in 1999.

MANUFACTURING

Gardner Denver has twenty manufacturing facilities that utilize a broad
variety of processes. At its manufacturing locations, the Company maintains
advanced manufacturing, quality assurance and testing equipment geared to
the specific products that it manufactures, and uses extensive process
automation in its manufacturing operations. Most of the manufacturing
facilities utilize computer aided numerical control tools and manufacturing
techniques that concentrate the equipment necessary to produce similar
products in one area of the plant (cell manufacturing). One operator using
cell manufacturing can monitor and operate several machines, as well as
assemble and test products made by such machines, thereby improving
operating efficiency and product quality while reducing the amount of
work-in-process and finished product inventories.

RAW MATERIALS

The primary raw materials used by Gardner Denver are cast iron and steel.
Such materials are generally available from a number of suppliers. The
Company does not currently have long-term contracts with its suppliers of
raw materials, but believes that its sources of raw materials are reliable
and adequate for its needs. The Company utilizes single sources of supply
for certain iron castings and other selected components. A disruption in
deliveries from a given supplier could therefore have an adverse effect on
the Company's ability to meet its commitments to customers. Nevertheless,
the Company believes that it has appropriately balanced this risk against
the cost of sustaining a greater number of suppliers. Moreover, the Company
has sought, and will continue to seek, cost reductions in its purchases of
materials and supplies by consolidating its purchases, pursuing alternate
sources of supply and using online bidding competitions among potential
suppliers. Historically, the Company has not experienced any significant
supply problems in its operations; however, there can be no assurance that
this will be the case in the future.


                                     7





BACKLOG

The Company's backlog was approximately $79.2 million at December 31, 2001
as compared to approximately $60.3 million at December 31, 2000. This
increase was due to acquisitions and increased demand of petroleum pump
products partially offset by a decline in demand for compressed air
products. Backlog consists of orders believed to be firm for which a
customer purchase order has been received or communicated and which are
scheduled for shipment within twelve months. Since orders may be rescheduled
or canceled, backlog does not necessarily reflect future sales levels.

PATENTS, TRADEMARKS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

The Company believes that the success of its business depends more on the
technical competence, creativity and marketing abilities of its employees
than on any individual patent, trademark or copyright. Nevertheless, as part
of its ongoing research, development and manufacturing activities, the
Company has a policy of seeking appropriate patents concerning new products
and product improvements.

In the aggregate, patents and trademarks are of considerable importance to
the manufacturing and marketing of many of the Company's products. However,
the Company does not consider any single patent or trademark, or group of
patents or trademarks, to be material to its business as a whole, except for
the Gardner Denver(R) trademark. Other important trademarks used by Gardner
Denver include DuroFlow(R), Sutorbilt(R), CycloBlower(R), Wittig(R),
Lamson(R), Tamrotor(R), OPI(R), Champion(R), Geoquip(R), Bellis & Morcom(R)
and Hoffman(R). Joy(R) is a registered trademark of Joy Technologies, Inc.
Gardner Denver has the right to use the Joy(R) trademark on aftermarket
parts until November 2027. The Company's right to use this trademark on air
compressors expired in November 1995. Pursuant to trademark license
agreements, Cooper has rights to use the Gardner Denver(R) trademark for
certain power tools and Gardner Denver has rights to use the Ajax(R)
trademark for petroleum pump products. Gardner Denver has registered its
trademarks in the countries where it is deemed necessary.

The Company also relies upon trade secret protection for its confidential
and proprietary information. The Company routinely enters into
confidentiality agreements with its employees. There can be no assurance,
however, that others will not independently obtain similar information and
techniques or otherwise gain access to the Company's trade secrets or that
the Company can effectively protect its trade secrets.

EMPLOYEES

As of February 2002, the Company had approximately 2,000 full-time
employees, of which approximately 700, including most of the employees in
Finland, Germany and the United Kingdom, were represented by labor unions.
The Company believes its current relations with employees are satisfactory.
The Company's five-year labor contract with the union at the Quincy,
Illinois plant expires in May 2002. Management has no reason to believe
that a new agreement will not be finalized prior to the expiration date.


                                     8





ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The Company is subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws
and regulations relating to the storage, handling, emission, disposal and
discharge of materials into the environment. The Company believes that its
existing environmental control procedures are adequate and it has no current
plans for substantial capital expenditures in this area. Gardner Denver has
an environmental policy that confirms its commitment to a clean environment
and to compliance with environmental laws. Gardner Denver has an active
environmental management program aimed at compliance with existing
environmental regulations and developing methods to eliminate or
significantly reduce the generation of pollutants in the manufacturing
processes.

The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP")
with respect to eight sites designated for cleanup under federal "Superfund"
or similar state laws, which impose liability for cleanup of certain waste
sites and for related natural resource damages. Persons potentially liable
for such costs and damages generally include the site owner or operator and
persons that disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances
found at those sites. Although these laws impose joint and several
liability, in application, the PRPs typically allocate the investigation and
cleanup costs based upon the volume of waste contributed by each PRP. Based
on currently available information, Gardner Denver was only a small
contributor to six of these waste sites and has reached, or is attempting to
negotiate, de minimus settlements for their cleanup. The clean-up of the
remaining two sites is substantially complete and the Company's future
obligations entail a share of the sites' ongoing operating and maintenance
expense.

The Company has an accrued liability on its balance sheet to the extent
costs are known or can be estimated for its remaining financial obligations.
Based upon consideration of currently available information, the Company
does not anticipate any materially adverse effect on its results of
operations, financial condition, liquidity or competitive position as a
result of compliance with federal, state, local or foreign environmental
laws or regulations or cleanup costs relating to the sites discussed above.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

As of December 31, 2001, Gardner Denver has twenty manufacturing plants,
three of which are remanufacturing operations, one distribution center,
several warehouses, a packaging operation and numerous sales offices. The
significant facilities are as follows:
