BOULDER, Colo., Dec. 6  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (NASDAQ:BOOM), the world's leading provider of explosion-welded clad metal plates and associated services, today announced it has received a $7.5 million contract calling for the production and delivery of clad metal plates for use in a North American refinery project.  DMC will utilize its domestic and European clad metal production facilities to fill the order, which is scheduled for delivery during the first two quarters of 2006.

Yvon Cariou, president and CEO of DMC, said, "The domestic refining industry is investing heavily in capacity expansion and modernization programs.
