Supreme Corq Inc. Announces Successful Application with Wax Solutions

SEATTLE, WA – March 20, 2003 - Supreme Corq Inc., world quality leader in wine and distilled spirits sealing systems, announces the successful development of a high bonding wax for use with Supreme Corq synthetic closures. This unique wax was developed by Wax Solutions, a division of Blended Waxes, Inc., of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, USA.

Supreme Corq and Wax Solutions have worked closely together to develop a wax specifically for use with synthetic closures on wine and spirits bottles. This wax application eliminates the need for a capsule traditionally used to cover the bottleneck of the corq. This innovative packaging treatment is both attractive and cost effective.

"Wax Solutions wax adheres very well to the SupremeCorq closure" reports Delana Green, Production Manager at Stellenbosch Vineyards in South Africa, "We have not experienced any difficulty with the application of the wax to the corq. The final product has a smooth, attractive finish."

Supreme Corq is the world’s largest supplier and premium manufacturer of wine and distilled spirits closures, supplying more than 1,000 wineries worldwide, since 1992. Supreme Corq is the only ISO 9001:2000 and AIB (American Institute of Baking) certified synthetic corq supplier in the world.

Wax Solutions offers wine bottle sealing wax in over 18 colors as well as color matching. The wax is FDA approved and easy to use. Wax provides a tamper resistant closure that allows for fast and efficient application.
