XPEL Reports on SEMA Trade Show Success

SAN ANTONIO--XPEL Technologies Corp. (TSXV:DAP.U) today updated shareholders on its recently attended Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) trade show in Las Vegas, Nevada during the week of October 31, 2006.

Peter MacGillivray, VP of marketing and communications for California-based SEMA, stated, “We are seeing a change in consumers. Consumers used to only accessorize second or third-hand vehicles. Now we are seeing more and more new car buyers wanting to accessorize at the point of purchase.” MacGillivray added that while five years ago about 1,000 (new car) dealers attended the SEMA show, “this year, we have gotten over 5,000 dealers.” MacGillivray said another phenomenon is the globalization of what used to be a uniquely American cultural phenomenon. He said 20 percent of this year's show attendees came from over 100 countries other than the U.S.

XPEL’s Vice President of Sales Paul Costas commented, “Without a doubt this was our most successful year to exhibit at SEMA. The quality of the prospects seeking to offer XPEL products was at a much more superior level than we have ever witnessed. Throughout the week, we were able to speak with approximately 300 new leads, which included large car dealership groups, independent business owners, and OEMs, of which many were foreign-based. We believe the business opportunities generated for XPEL from this year's show will be absolutely exceptional.”

W. Rege Brunner, XPEL’s Chairman and CEO, stated, “The most impactful thing to me this year was the growing buzz surrounding automotive paint protection film. Everyone is talking about it. This was great affirmation that XPEL is so well-positioned to experience significant future growth in this dynamic, yet very youthful industry.”
