Ottawa, Canada, May 3, 2007 – Dipix Technologies Inc., soon to become a Tarquin Group company, today announced that a leading manufacturer and marketer of value-added flour based products has purchased an automated processed food inspection system from the company, in a deal worth approximately $300K.

Dipix’s QualiVision™ machine vision inspection system will be used to automatically inspect, count and package breakfast biscuits for a major quick service restaurant chain. “Dipix technology fills an important role between the end of the manufacturing line and the beginning of the packaging line,” said Dipix VP of sales and marketing John Lawrence. “We are pleased to add to our growing list of major manufacturers who use our products to enhance quality, improve productivity and ultimately increase profits.”

Dipix, which is being purchased by diversified industrial technology company Tarquin Group, is the world leader in the design and implementation of automated inspection solutions for processed foods, including baked goods, snacks, confections, tortillas, cookies and biscuits. Dipix supports over 200 installations of its systems with global manufactured food companies such as McDonald's, Mission Foods, Nabisco and Sara Lee.

Dipix technology inspects, sorts and aligns food products on a very large scale. The equipment can be customized to manage automatic rejection of defects based on specific criteria. It can also assist with aligning the product for packaging. The offering includes on-demand Web-hosted reporting software that gives customers access to up-to-the-minute data gathered from the inspection system. This enables statistical process control across multiple manufacturing sites and comparison of processing effectiveness.

In October, 2007 Dipix will be exhibiting at the International Baking Exposition in Orlando, Florida. For more information, please visit www.ibie2007.com/Orlando.asp.
