BP International Completes Two of Three Shade Structures for $58,381 for Volusia County, FL

[BP International via BizWire]

DELAND, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 30, 2004--BP International,
Inc. (OTCBB:BPIL), a leading manufacturer of fabric architecture shade
structures and tennis and athletic field equipment, announced the
completion of 2 out of 3 shade structures at Deltona High School for
Volusia County, FL. The $58,381 project is the first of many shade
structure projects BPI is expecting from the Volusia County School
Board in the near future.
"We are waiting on the district to move a few portables, which
will allow us to install the last, and largest, structure of the
project," said Larry Ball, President and CEO of BP International, Inc.
"What really excites me about this project is that this facility,
like most schools, has an enormous number of the typical aluminum
walkway cover structures. We put our fabric structures right next to
those, and the difference in appearance is striking. We can offer our
fabric structures, which are more attractive and reduce the heat as
much as 15 degrees, for 30-40% less, in most cases, than the
old-fashioned solid roofs."
"Considering all the shade needs we can fill with fabric
structures," continued Ball, "and knowing our product offers more
aesthetic value, is more cost effective, and has the same or better
warranties, it's easy to get excited about the extreme potential of
the school market. We can cover walkways, eating and gathering areas,
playgrounds and bleachers ...the possibilities are limitless."
Shade structures for playgrounds and bleachers have been BPI's
primary focus in the past. Currently, however, the company is
broadening marketing and sales efforts to target all outdoor cover and
shade needs.
"We know the need exists to shade our children," Ball said. "It
won't be long before shade will be mandatory on all playgrounds and
for all bleachers. We are already seeing DCF (Department of Children
and Families) guidelines for shade on playgrounds. The reality is that
we are pioneering a multi-billion dollar market with an incredible
double impact: it is good for business and it is even better for our
kids. It's great to be in a win-win situation with great products and
an exciting future."
Larry Ball concluded, "With the support of our loyal, experienced,
and expanding base of independent distributors, and some of the most
attractive and well-engineered structures currently being built, we
intend to dominate this infant market as it grows toward maturity."
