XPEL Announces Management Team Changes

SAN ANTONIO--The Board of Directors of XPEL Technologies Corp. (TSXV: DAP.U) announced a management reorganization today that included naming Ryan Pape, formerly XPEL’s Senior Vice President of Operations, Interim Chief Executive Officer. Current Chief Executive Officer, Nuno Ferreira, will remain Senior Vice President of XPEL and President of XPEL Canada. Mr. Ferreira will maintain an office and residence in San Antonio, Texas and Calgary, Canada. Additionally, Tim Hartt, Senior Vice President of Sales, and one of the company’s founders, has been named Chief Operating Officer.

Mr. Pape has held various roles within the company over the a five year period, including overseeing operations, marketing, technology and other company initiatives. “Mr. Pape will continue the progress made the second half of 2008 in restoring profitability and growing the business in new areas,” Maxwell Polinsky, Director, stated.

Mr. Ferreira commented, “As an original shareholder, it was important to step in as CEO when the company needed it most, but with a strong management team in place, I feel it is more important for me to spend time hands-on with our customers and partners. I believe this is where I can make the greatest contribution to the company.”

“Nuno’s long history in the business and tremendous rapport with our customers is something we cannot easily duplicate. We have been working for some time to determine the best way to leverage those skills and this will give him the platform to do it," Ryan Pape said.

Mr. Hartt was instrumental in developing the company’s original technology and Design Access Program concept and will run all day-to-day operations along with Mr. Ferreira.

“We have been functioning as an effective management team together for some time and have made progress in streamlining the organization. These changes just tweak responsibilities in a way to make us more effective,” Ryan Pape said.
