HUDSON, OH, April 17, 2003 -- Quatech, a world-class manufacturer of reliable serial connectivity solutions, today announced it has launched the Q-Partner Reseller Program. The program rewards Resellers, VARs, and System Integrators with industry-leading benefits, including priority service and support as well as considerable financial incentives.

Quatech serial connectivity solutions are used in a wide variety of industries including financial services, retail, aerospace, and industrial process control. Quatech provides the vital serial connectivity link that ties systems together in such applications as banking teller stations, POS networks, GPS navigation systems, and CNC production lines.

"Our combination of diverse multi-industry experience, product reliability, customer service, and partner support solidifies our standing as the leading supplier of serial connectivity solutions," said Steve Runkel, Quatech President and CEO. "Because of our rapid growth, we're committed to finding new ways to best serve our customers, including opening new channels and offering creative packages full of support and incentives. We are proud to offer our partners a formal program that recognizes their dedication to both their customers and to Quatech."

By enrolling in the Q-Partner Program, Quatech's channel partners enjoy benefits designed to be among the best in the industry: For example, Q-Partners will earn significant rebates for attaining certain levels of sales, and have access to unprecedented marketing and sales assistance such as customized promotional materials and joint sales calls.
