XPEL Reports Record-Breaking Quarter for Product Downloads

XPEL Technologies Corp. announced that monthly product downloads from its database of paint and headlight protection kits during the first quarter of 2006 grew by 51.48 percent over the same period in 2005, reaching a total of 29,671 kits produced by the company's worldwide dealer base. Additionally, XPEL window tint product downloads for the first three months of 2006 increased 516.81 percent over the first quarter of 2005, reaching a total of 6,273 kits.

"In reviewing the data, XPEL's previously initiated growth strategies are being affirmed. The growing number of product patterns taken from our electronic database is evidence of some very exciting trends, primarily increasing brand awareness and corresponding market penetration," said W. Rege Brunner, XPEL chairperson and chief executive officer.

"XPEL's Design Access Program offering is a big draw to those interested in becoming product dealers, and the fact that we activated 50 new dealers this past quarter proves this out. We believe these growth trends will continue, as this dynamic industry is very much still in its infancy," he added.
