GENCO Named as a Top Supplier for Sears Holdings Corporation

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - July 12, 2006 - GENCO today announced that it was one of the select companies to receive top honors at the Sears Holdings' 2005 Partners in Progress awards. GENCO received Innovation Supplier of the Year and overall Supplier of the Year in the logistics category and Innovation Supplier of the Year for Services, making the company one of Sears Holdings' top 12 suppliers.

The prestigious Partners in Progress award is presented annually to a select group of supplier companies that provide Sears Holdings with quality products and services, from apparel, appliances and tools to marketing, facilities design and technology.

"Strong and productive supplier relationships are critical to building relationships with our Kmart and Sears customers," said Lewis. "As a new company, Sears Holdings has an opportunity to better serve our customers by working hand in hand with our suppliers. We're pleased to have the opportunity, through the Partners in Progress program, to recognize the suppliers who have gone the extra mile to support our company."

"This is an extremely prestigious award and we are pleased to be recognized once again for our performance by a valued customer. It stands as a testament to our teammates dedication, commitment to excellence and ability to deliver value and the best customer experience," said Herb Shear, president and chief executive officer of GENCO.
