DELAND, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 11, 2004

BP International, Inc. (OTCBB:BPIL), a leading manufacturer of industrial fabrics and tennis and athletic field equipment, today announced its exhibit of permanent and portable driving range structures generated four immediate sales at its booth at the PGA Merchandise Show held recently in Orlando, FL. BP International's exhibit met with a "tremendous" response according to Larry Ball, CEO of BP International who said the company fielded well over 150 "serious" inquiries from prospective clients including a major university, a number of exclusive country clubs and countries from all over the world.

"With the PGA Merchandise Show being the focal point for new product launches, we targeted the overall industry with specific products like our driving range structures and were overwhelmed by the level of interest and enthusiasm PGA professionals, country clubs and driving ranges had for them," Ball said. "We're confident we will derive continued sales on a host of products from this PGA appearance throughout the year - the response was beyond our highest expectations!"

The driving range structures from BP International come in permanent and portable versions. Each product provides significant benefits to golf instructors and their students. These shaded structures assist in decreasing the risk of skin cancer - an important issue for golf pros. Instructors can also generate additional revenues through an increase in number of lessons taught per day since they are protected from adverse weather conditions such as rain, excessive heat or cold. This also means that teaching pros can add years to their careers as well.

The PGA Merchandise Show is golf's largest trade-only exhibition and attracts world-class professionals from every area of the industry. More than 40,000 golf and retail industry professionals gathered in Orlando, Fla., for this year's Show, which took place January 29 - February 1 at the Orange County Convention Center. Nearly 1,200 exhibitors of golf-related products and services were on hand. The PGA Merchandise Show will return to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando Jan. 27-30, 2005.
