DOREL ANNOUNCES NEW AMERIWOOD PRESIDENT





Montreal, November 21, 2006 — Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B DII.A; NASDAQ: DIIB) today announced a change in the top management position at Ameriwood Industries. Former Ameriwood Industries President, Rick Jackson, will replace Greg Carlson who has left the organization for personal reasons. The appointment will take effect

Rick spent ten years with Dorel through the 1990’s, initially as President of ready-to-assemble furniture manufacturer Charleswood Industries and later as head of the merged Charleswood/Ameriwood organizations.

“We are delighted to welcome Rick back,” stated Dorel President and CEO, Martin Schwartz. “Rick fully understands both our business and our culture. He helped establish Charleswood and Ameriwood as profitable business units and has an extremely strong background in administration and cost controls. We are confident that Rick’s learning curve will be a rapid one and that, under his guidance, improvements that have already started will be sped up.”
