LINE-X® TO RECEIVE PRESTIGOUS FROST & SULLIVAN AWARD FOR LINE-X RENEW™

Industry Protective Coatings Leader Presented with 2008 North American Truck Bedliners Product of the Year Award.

“We are more than honored to receive this prestigious award,” said LINE-X CEO John C. Wesley. “The LINE-X family works very hard to develop the best spray-on protective coatings on the market and this award confirms our dedication.”

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Award recognizes companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis and extensive secondary research in order to identify best practices in the industry.

Recognized for its technological innovation, LINE-X introduced ReNew in early 2008 as the industry’s first truck bedliner protection solution that effectively restores any spray-on bedliner – whether it is a Line-X product or that of a competitor – to the quality of a brand new LINE-X Spray-On Truck Bedliner. The process includes spraying the truck bedliner with a coating formulation that chemically bonds permanently to the existing spray-on bedliner and eliminates unsightly chalking and fading, scratches, gouges, and rough spots that are common after years of bedliner use. In the past, truck owners have tried using various waxes and paint solvents to repair their bedliners, but these do not stand up well to ultraviolet rays and heat.

With the economy in a slump and consumers spending less on discretionary expenses, this low-cost alternative to a new bedliner offers truck owners the appearance and performance of a new bedliner for about the cost of having the vehicle detailed. In a few short months, ReNew™ has gained wide market acceptance, particularly at body shops, where truck beds damaged in collisions are repaired.

“LINE-X always puts its customers first and foremost,” commented LINE-X CEO John C. Wesley. “ReNew is the answer many have been waiting for and we are happy to offer a product that can keep any bedliner looking great, while still maintaining low costs, especially in a slow economy.”

LINE-X has a long withstanding relationship with Frost & Sullivan. In 2006, the company ranked LINE-X as the market share leader in the spray-on bedliner market. New 2007 Frost & Sullivan research shows that LINE-X has increased this margin by over four percent and is expected to continue to dominate the industry in the future.
