Santa Fe Springs, CA – January 5, 2009 -- Age Nameplate, a leading supplier of specialty graphic products for the OEM market, today announced that the Company has been endorsed by Prime Advantage as a broad-range supplier of membrane switches, labels, nameplates, and wide-format products to the food and beverage industry.

"We have had a presence in the food and beverage market vertical for nearly 20 years”, said Andrew Samson, acting Director of Marketing and Sales for AGE. "Joining Prime Advantage is a natural progression, and it follows a strategic marketing path that was defined in mid-2008", said Samson.

AGE Nameplate participated in the “Fall Conference of Prime Advantage”, which was hosted by Prime Advantage in Daytona Beach, Florida last October. The conference spanned 3 days and included pre-scheduled, one-on-one meetings between suppliers and buyers. “The Fall Conference was unlike any trade show the Company has ever attended. The pace was quite rapid with hardly a moment to spare between meetings, but the conversations were effective and highly productive”, said Mr. Samson.

AGE Nameplate initially received a recommendation from one of the leading Prime Advantage members in the spring of 2008. That was the beginning of a 5 month process. AGE management underwent a series of interviews by Prime Advantage supplier management staff, and then prepared presentations to a formal selection committee comprised of representatives from over a dozen leading Prime Advantage members. The selection committee presented AGE with their formal endorsement just days prior to the Fall Conference.

The next conference is scheduled for April 22~25 in Reno, Nevada. AGE Nameplate will send management-level representatives from both the sales and engineering departments.
