    June 5, 2007 - Today at Sears Holdings Corporation's headquarters in Hoffman:
    Estates, IL. Caffco International was one of the select companies to receive top honors at the Sears Holdings' 2006 Partners in Progress awards. Lamar Thompson, CEO of Caffco International received the award for quality of products, on time delivery and fashion forward design.


    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. Less than one percent of Sears Holdings' more than 41,000 suppliers earn the coveted award each year.
    The winning companies were hosted by Aylwin B. Lewis, chief executive officer and president of Sears Holdings Corporation.
    "Partners in Progress was started more than 20 years ago and is a testament to the importance we place on having strong supplier relationships," said Lewis. "The Sears Holdings culture is one that places a high priority on teamwork and a focus on customers. The Partners in Progress program allows our company to recognize those suppliers who have gone above and beyond to support Sears Holdings in our efforts to better serve our customers and grow profitably by working together."
    Lamar Thompson stated "We are honored to be recognized for the third time as an important partner of Sears Holdings Inc. Our team of dedicated professionals in sales, product design and manufacturing is the reason that we find ourselves among this select group. It is their focus on meeting our customers' needs that has been recognized once again."


    The Partners in Progress program recognizes suppliers for product or service quality, innovation, diversity and overall market performance. The winners were selected from nominations submitted by Sears associates who purchased goods and services for the company in 2006.
