DELAND, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 1, 2004

BP International, Inc. (OTCBB:BPIL), a leading manufacturer of fabric architecture shade structures, industrial fabrics, tennis and athletic field equipment, today announced that Rep Services, Inc., one of the industry's premier playground equipment distributors with clients such as Disney, numerous municipalities, counties, etc., has been approved to represent and distribute all BPI product lines, including the ShadeZone(R) line of fabric architecture shade structures.

"I'm elated that Rep Services will be adding BPI products to the high quality lines they represent," said Larry Ball, BP International CEO. "Rep Services has successfully been in business since 1989. They have a distinguished reputation, they share our philosophy of doing great work while putting the customer first, and they are well-established in markets we want to reach. You could say we just mobilized a team of experienced, professional salesmen who are entrenched in the parks, recreation, and school markets, and they will be carrying our products with them every time they make a contact or do a presentation."

J.T. Almon, owner of Rep Services, said, "My company specializes in products that look good, last long, and work. These are the things that make customers happy. We focus on quality, and that's why we have so much repeat business and referrals. We have thoroughly investigated BPI, and I feel very comfortable representing their products. I believe it's going to be a very profitable relationship for both companies."

Rep Services sales and service personnel recently attended a day-long training seminar at BPI headquarters. Ball said that their playground experts were very interested in the ShadeZone(R) line of fabric architecture shade structures, especially the waterproof pavilions as an alternative option to standard solid roof structures.

"They immediately recognized the incredible potential for these structures," Ball added. "Every park and recreation facility has or is building or will build a waterproof pavilion. Our permanent fabric pavilions cost 30-45 percent less than solid roofs, require almost no maintenance, can be installed in days rather than weeks, and they are really, really beautiful. The sales reps couldn't stop talking about the huge market potential."
