Chantilly, VA - May 9, 2005 - InfinityQS® International, the premier provider of enterprise-wide quality control software solutions, announced today that Nestle Waters® has selected InfinityQS to provide statistical process control (SPC) software and services to their North American manufacturing operations. InfinityQS SPC products empower manufacturers to monitor, control and improve the quality of their manufacturing operations across a site, an enterprise or an entire supply chain.

InfinityQS SPC software was first installed in a select number of Nestle Waters manufacturing plants. As a result of the overall improved quality of the bottles, Nestle Waters will implement InfinityQS SPC software solutions throughout North America.

The software will be used to monitor, control and improve the quality of the plastic containers used in Nestle Waters bottling operations. Specifically, InfinityQS SPC software will be used to control the blow molding process to ensure that the shapes and sizes of the bottles are consistent and meet Nestle Waters high quality standards. Nestle is confident that the reduction in scrap and rework will provide significant returns on their initial investment.

"Once again, InfinityQS has demonstrated the value of our quality solutions," said Michael Lyle, President of InfinityQS International. "We are proud to be working with Nestle Waters to help develop a scientific method to control the manufacturing process of their bottles. In addition, our relationship with Nestle Waters reinforces our commitment to helping organizations within the food industry achieve their quality objectives."
