SQA Services and GSGM Form Strategic Alliance

ROLLING HILLS, Calif. & BEIJING--April 12, 2006--SQA Services, Inc. of Rolling Hills California and Global Sourcing and Global Marketing, Inc. (GSGM) of Beijing are proud to announce that they are partnering to provide a complete supply chain support service. Following meetings in Los Angeles and Shanghai, SQA President/CEO, Mike McKay, and GSGM President, Paul Macler, formalized an agreement that they would combine their closely aligned corporate strengths. "There are obvious synergies with our two organizations." remarked McKay. "...not only from a service standpoint, but from a structural, managerial and geographical standpoint." Macler agreed: "We've both enjoyed success in similar circles. By combining forces we become an extensive chain of support that's as strong as its strongest link."

The SQA strengths in the relationship are their flexibility, expertise, technology and proximity to the customer over the last eleven years. The GSGM factors include a successful Asian network built up over twenty years, and the advantage of being on the ground in Asia with people and facilities.

The result of combining these strengths is a complete service for customers' supply chains. "We both have customers with needs that extend outside our core services." said McKay. "Now we are able to support a customer for the life cycle of their supply needs." "This makes it easier to manage." remarked Macler. "...as supply management has one transparent view into their whole Asian supplier initiatives."
