Quickparts Makes Inc. 500 List of Fastest Growing Private Companies

Quickparts, the leading provider of custom-manufactured plastic and metal parts, has been named to the Inc. 500 list of Americas fastest growing private companies for 2004. Dr. Hollis, President & CEO at Quickparts.com. Inc., attributes Quickparts inclusion in the Inc. 500 in its first year of eligibility to the companys unconventional approach to manufacturing, "Traditional parts manufacturers focus primarily on the process and neglect the designers needs. Quickparts is focused on making the process of buying custom-manufactured parts as easy as buying a book online. We invest heavily to find the best people, processes and technology in the industry. In the end, the customer is our paycheck."

Atlanta, GA November 10, 2004 -- Quickparts, the leading provider of custom-manufactured plastic and metal parts, has been named to the Inc. 500 list of Americas fastest growing private companies for 2004.
