Napier Launches New RemovAll -TM- Brand

    VANCOUVER, B.C.--Dec. 11, 2001--Napier Environmental Technologies Inc. is pleased to report the launch of a new brand for its industrial and commercial products under the RemovAll(TM) brand name.
    During the fall Napier completed a deal with former distributor Truco Inc. to take direct control of the RemovAll(TM) brand, which Truco had built for the automotive industry in North America. The brand had been developed exclusively around four of Napier's industrial products including paint stripper, over-spray remover, parts stripper and paint gun and equipment cleaner.
    Through the transaction Napier has not only acquired all rights and title to the brand, but it has taken over the direct service of all previous accounts of Truco, including some 20 automotive warehouse distributors with 90 locations in the United States and Canada, as well as private label deals with UAP/NAPPA and Sherwin Williams Automotive. This transaction eliminates an intermediary and adds value directly to Napier.
    Napier's plans for the RemovAll(TM) brand reach far further than the automotive industry. The company has already completed labels and marketing material to launch a complete range of commercial products ranging from paint and graffiti removers to citrus cleaners and degreasers and rust removal compounds. More than a dozen products have been incorporated thus far into the line which will be targeted at a much more diverse range of industries.
    To this point in time Napier has focused the efforts for marketing its products through conventional paint store and home center channels. Although this approach has produced very positive results the market potential for such a wide range and application of products continues to be largely untapped.
    It is therefore with great pleasure that Napier announces the signing of a distribution agreement with Auto Color Company, Inc. of Marietta, Georgia. Napier will stock the full range of RemovAll(TM) branded products in Marietta. Auto Color is a family owned business and the largest distributor of auto finishes in the Southeastern US, with total sales of $20 million US. Industrial and aviation sales represented $1.75 million US of that total. Auto Color is represented by some 16 outside sales people operating from 14 locations in Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. Auto Color have projected sales of the Napier products for the first 12 to 18 months at $1.0 million.
    The arrangement with Auto Color is similar to that which Napier has established in Europe for warehousing of product being sold directly to customers without the delays that borders can create. The Rotterdam warehouse has lowered shipping costs and allowed for timely deliveries to Western Europe and the Auto Color agreement will have the same delivery benefits for the Southeastern US.
