IQMS Europe Launches; With 25 Percent of Company's 2004 Growth Coming from Outside U.S., IQMS Focuses on European Customers with Partner PlasticsGrid.

PASO ROBLES, Calif. -- Manufacturing around the world is driving business opportunities for California-based IQMS, developers of EnterpriseIQ ERP software, one of the manufacturing industry's leading enterprise software solutions for repetitive, process and discrete manufacturing environments. Today, the company announced the official launch of IQMS Europe, which folds its exclusive distribution partnership with PlasticsGrid into the IQMS global organization.

In 2002, IQMS and PlasticsGrid teamed up to deliver the EnterpriseIQ system to manufacturers throughout Europe while a third party provided implementation services. Now as IQMS Europe, one company will provide sales, marketing, implementation and service to manufacturing customers throughout Europe. With this consolidation, IQMS Europe strengthens the ERP provider's overall position in the manufacturing industry in Europe.

"IQMS Europe enables us to offer our customers a complete service with enhanced support and implementation services," said Ola Gejde, managing director, IQMS Europe. "EnterpriseIQ is an invaluable business tool to help manufacturers in many industries improve operations and profits, and now we have one organization with one face to better serve our customers."

With offices in Stockholm, Sweden, London, and Kapellen, Belgium, PlasticsGrid's management team includes Ola Gejde in Sweden, Fred Phillips in the U.K. and Uwe Wascher, formerly with GE Plastics, Goran Bennich, formerly with GE Plastics, who have a combined 75 years of manufacturing, plastics/chemical and IT experience.

This combined expertise gives IQMS Europe a strong understanding of the specific needs of manufacturers in a range of industries including automotive, medical, personal care and plastics.

"Our knowledge of the precise needs of manufacturers helps customers achieve faster implementation time and higher return on investment with EnterpriseIQ," said Gejde. "EnterpriseIQ gives manufacturers the ability to manage their operations across multiple plants, multiple languages and even multiple currencies with one comprehensive system."

Earlier this year, IQMS announced the formation of IQMS Asia and the opening of its first office in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. A second IQMS Asia office recently opened in Shanghai, China, to serve manufacturers throughout that region. IQMS also recently introduced its EnterpriseIQ software in Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and the software is also available in English, German, Dutch, Swedish and Spanish.

In 2004, one in four new IQMS customers were from outside the United States, underscoring the company's global growth opportunity. Last year, IQMS revenue grew 20 percent, while the company's revenues grew 15 percent the previous year. IQMS was named one of START Magazine's "Hottest Companies" in 2004 and in 2005 was named to the list of companies to "Keep an Eye On" in 2005.

"Mid-level manufacturers around the world need to streamline operations and optimize their profitability and they are turning to EnterpriseIQ and IQMS for help," said Randy Flamm, president of IQMS, which was founded in 1988. "Strengthening our operations in Europe and Asia enables us to better serve our customers, who are working hard to serve theirs."
