| ABOUT
US
The
current managing director, Colin Nash, first introduced
the SPEEDLINER®
product into the UK in the Autumn of 1999.
Initially
getting to know and use the SPEEDLINER®
product, its variety of applications together
with its outstanding qualities and operating as
a ‘one man’ spray-liner business it
soon became obvious that there was enormous potential
for SPEEDLINER®.
By
February 2000 an exclusive agreement was made
between Industrial Polymers Inc, the manufacturers
of SPEEDLINER®
based in Houston, Texas, USA and Colin Nash to
market and distribute SPEEDLINER®
and its associated products throughout the UK.
SPEEDLINER®
UK was created and officially launched
itself at the Commercial Vehicle Show in March
2000 held at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham.
Following
the successful launch and being able to offer
the first and only non-franchise,
low cost Dealer ‘Start-Up’
package by the end of 2000 SPEEDLINER®
UK had gained 8 active Dealers / Application
Centres.
Over
the next couple of years marketing and promotion
of the SPEEDLINER®
product and the general concept of the ‘spray-on
truck bed liner’ was dramatically increased.
Slowly
but surely the Dealer base was expanded as more
small to medium size, independent bodyshops/ sprayshops,
4x4 truck specialists and ‘special vehicle’
builders / manufacturers discovered the uses and
potential of the SPEEDLINER®
product.
By
early 2004 the SPEEDLINER®
UK authorised Dealer network had passed
the 50 mark.
At
the end of 2004 and the start of 2005 SPEEDLINER®
UK had gained an enviable number of independent
Dealers and ‘In-House’ manufacturing
based product users across the UK, Ireland, Spain
and Germany.
As
SPEEDLINER® UK
was beginning to enlist new Dealers in the general
European marketplace a decision was made with
the support and encouragement of the SPEEDLINER®
USA parent company
for an operating and trading name change to that
of SPEEDLINER®
EUROPE as from April
2005.
SPEEDLINER®
EUROPE continues to grow apace and is justly
proud of its highly professional and conscientious
independent SPEEDLINER®
Dealer network.
By
early summer 2006 SPEEDLINER®
EUROPE became a registered limited company
as part of the expanding UK based European Polymers
Products (Group) Ltd. |
