Dorel Acquires 55% Interest in Australian Juvenile Products Company

New unit to provide platform for growth


Montreal, March 1, 2007 — Dorel Industries Inc. (TSX: DII.B DII.A; NASDAQ: DIIB) today announced a further strengthening of its Juvenile segment with the purchase of a 55% interest in Australian company IGC (Australia) Pty Ltd. Operating as In Good Care, IGC is a well established manufacturer and distributor of juvenile products in Australia and New Zealand. Dorel has paid cash consideration of US$2.5 million (AUD$3.2 million), and has assumed debt in the amount of US$7.4 million (AUD$9.4 million) in return for the 55% interest. The remaining 45% is owned by the current CEO, Mr. Robert Berchik, who will continue to serve in that capacity.


“This acquisition presents exciting opportunities for Dorel,” stated Martin Schwartz, President and CEO of Dorel Industries Inc. “We firmly believe that working with an established company is the best way to accelerate our growth prospects in Australia and nearby countries. Robert and his team have built a strong business which we plan to grow even further through the introduction of our diversified range of popular juvenile products. The combination of IGC’s established brands with those of Dorel will create a powerful market force.”


“The transaction also provides a base from which to introduce other products from Dorel’s consumer products categories. We have tested this all-encompassing strategy over the past two years with our Dorel Distribution Canada division. The concept was designed to bolster sales and profits of the Canadian unit and to serve as a model for possible future such ventures. With the success of the Canadian venture, we will now put this formula to work in Australia,” concluded Mr. Schwartz.


About IGC

IGC, was established in Australia in 1974 by Robert Berchik with the introduction of a range of prams and strollers. With time, the company has augmented its juvenile product offerings and today is considered a leading stroller and car seat specialist. IGC sells its products under a number of well established brands in Australia, the most recognizable being Bertini and Mother’s Choice. Annual sales are approximately US$24 million (AUD$30 million) and are made to major retail customers as well as to smaller specialist outlets selling juvenile products.
