Snap-on Business Solutions Signs New Data Access Agreement with Ford Motor Company

Richfield , OH , August 10, 2006 - Snap-on Business Solutions, the innovator and market leader in electronic parts catalog systems, has announced that it has entered into a new parts data access agreement with Ford Motor Company. The agreement extends the relationship through 2012. This agreement affirms the strong relationship that Snap-on has with Ford and ensures that Snap-on EPC customers will continue to receive accurate and timely data.

This agreement continues an alliance that Snap-on and Ford began over 10 years ago to provide critical parts data information and look-up capabilities to Ford and Lincoln-Mercury dealerships throughout the United States and Canada . The Snap-on EPC is important to the profitability of these dealerships, as it helps Ford and Lincoln-Mercury parts departments better manage their parts ordering and stocking costs. It also integrates with other systems and applications so that parts department employees have immediate access to part availability and pricing, leading to faster customer service and improved customer satisfaction.

Snap-on EPCs are currently used by more than 100,000 parts managers, parts specifiers, and technicians around the globe.

"This agreement is a direct result of Snap-on and Ford's shared commitment to innovative solutions that will move the business of selling and supplying parts forward in new and exciting ways," says Corey Roberts, Vice President of Global Accounts for Snap-on Business Solutions. "We believe that dealerships and their customers will benefit tremendously from the continuity of this relationship as we reliably deliver industry leading information tools to Ford parts and service departments."
