CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Jun 30, 2014) - Enerflex Ltd.

today that it has completed its previously announced acquisition of
the international contract compression and processing business, as
well as the after-market services business (the "International

totaling approximately 285,000 horsepower, running at current
utilization levels above 90% and having an average fleet age of
approximately 5.5 years. As well, the acquired assets include gas
treating facilities in Mexico, Argentina and Peru. All 173
employees and all members of senior management of the International
Business have joined Enerflex.
The Acquisition was funded using approximately C$128 million
from cash-on-hand with the remaining balance funded by drawing on
the Company's credit facilities.
Concurrent with closing of the Acquisition, the Company's credit
facilities have been increased to C$675 million from the previous
