DeHART's Printing Services Corporation
Earns ISO 9002 Registration

September 29, 1998     FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DATELINE -- DeHART's Printing Services, a manufacturer of printed products, today announced that it has earned ISO 9002 Registration from Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL).

The ISO 9000 series Standards are internationally recognized quality management system requirements developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

ISO 9002 registration focuses on quality system requirements for a company's production and installation processes.

"Internal improvement, market positioning, supplier control and customer or regulatory requirements are all sound reasons to seek quality system registration, and DeHART's Printing chose this path," says Gus Schaefer, chief engineer, Follow-Up Services. "Accepted by more than 90 countries around the world as a quality assurance benchmark, DeHART's Printing Services Corporation's ISO Registration has demonstrated its commitment to continuous process improvement." Mr. Schafer adds.

DeHART's began the registration process in 1994. As part of the process, UL performed an on-site assessment, examination of documented procedures and a survey of the company's overall operations. To determine continued compliance with ISO 9002, UL will periodically conduct routine surveillance audits of DeHART's operations.

"Preparing for the registration process and earning registration have helped to improve the quality of our operations, increase our efficiency and decrease the costs to provide our services," says Don DeHart, President. "We're very pleased to have earned registration and are very proud of every employee who worked to meet the requirements necessary for registration."
