HQSM Reveals Expanded Sales Strategy for Seattle Offices
Tuesday September 6, 5:07 pm ET
Profit Margins to Increase


SEATTLE, WA--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 6, 2005 -- HQ Sustainable Maritime Industries, Inc. (HQ) (OTC BB:HQSM.OB - News), a Delaware corporation engaged in integrated aquaculture and aquatic product processing, announced today that it has approved the expansion of the functions of its International Sales and new corporate offices in Seattle.

In addition to its International sales staff as well as the North American based senior management, the Company will diversify its sales strategy allowing the sale to retailers and service industry outlets of boxes of its products as opposed to the shipment of containers of products as is currently the case. Management believes that this higher margin business will add at least 15% profitability to its current sales. The Offices in Seattle will serve as well to import other seafood products so as to provide to its US clientele a more complete range of products.

Said Norbert Sporns, CEO of HQSM, "The new HQSM offices in Seattle will further vertically integrate our sales allowing our message to go more directly to important ultimate consumers of our products who do not currently accept delivery of container loads of products. This will play hand-in-hand with new branding and market education initiatives which will be announced shortly."
