Item 4.01.    Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
 
On June 1, 2005, the NATCO Group Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the "Plan") retained BKD, LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm for the audit of the financial statements of the Plan as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004. During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and through June 1, 2005, neither the Company nor the Plan consulted with BKD regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of NATCO Group Inc., the parent company of the plan sponsor, had previously approved the decision to dismiss the former plan auditor and to retain BKD.
