OEConnection Named to NorthCoast 99 for 4th Consecutive Year

OEConnection LLC, a technology leader in parts exchange and analysis solutions for the automotive original equipment (OE) replacement parts business, announced today that the company was named as a NorthCoast 99 winner for the fourth consecutive year. Sponsored by the Employers Resource Council (ERC), this award honors the 99 best workplaces in northeast Ohio.

Chuck Rotuno, President & CEO of OEConnection, commented, "We are extremely proud to have been selected for this prestigious award for a fourth consecutive year. Our talented team of associates is certainly what drives our success. As a fast growing technology company located in northeast Ohio, we continue to recruit highly qualified professionals to drive our growth. This honor supports us in this effort by establishing OEConnection as an employer of choice in the region."

NorthCoast 99 is an annual recognition honoring the 99 best-in-class employers in the 22-county northeast Ohio region. ERC selects winners on the quality of their workplace and their demonstrated ability to attract, retain and motivate top performers. For 2007, ERC recognized the organizations that best exhibit the Seven Fundamental Characteristics of a Great Workplace, or those found to be most important to top performing employees. These characteristics include flexibility, opportunity, recognition, development, security, support, and talent integrity.

Unique in its approach to award nominations, NorthCoast 99 seeks nominations directly from associates throughout the region. Nominated organizations complete a detailed description of their programs, policies, benefits and distinguishing factors regarding associate attraction, retention and satisfaction. ERC compiles a comprehensive report from the winners' data to share with participating organizations as a guidebook on the region's most successful practices.

ERC will recognize its 2007 winners at an awards banquet to be held on September 19 in Westlake, Ohio.
