Bromsgrove based outdoor advertising specialist, StopAd, are expanding internationally after exhibiting at Parkex, Europe's leading annual exhibition for car park owners at the NEC.

The three-day event has led to exclusive distributor deals being discussed and set up for Spain, Portugal and Canada, together with a deal in China that will open up worldwide distributorship for the firm.

Chris Poon from Sinotek in China commented: "We are delighted to be working with StopAd in China and look forward to helping them expand their base internationally.

"We have been looking for a car parking product to take into China for some time - and this fits the bill perfectly."

In the UK, NCP are already a partner of StopAd and are currently working with them throughout the UK.

The StopAd product is foremost an aid to make parking much safer, particular in multi-storey car parks, as instead of hitting the bollard or brick wall, vehicles hit the StopAd - which causes no damage to the vehicle whatsoever.

Car park owners and managers throughout the UK confirmed that they were looking to reduce the amount of insurance claims and paperwork incurred by accidents happening in their car parks.

The secondary request was to be able to increase their revenue from the same number of spaces available - and that's where StopAd comes into its own.

With a 200mm square head, the StopAd is ideal to carry advertisements from brands that wish to target specific demographic groups - by utilsing a visual display that is seen by every passenger and driver that parks a car!

They sit at the head of a car-parking space, and are the driver's height when parking a vehicle - ideal for identifying disabled and children and parents' spaces, plus ordinary spaces too.

At Parkex, StopAd introduced their brand new option, whereby car park owners can purchase the StopAd's direct from £15 and utilise their own messages for their car parks. One golf club did just that, and soon they will be marked with club captain, company secretary, VIP spaces plus other too.

Jon Brewer, CEO and founder of StopAd commented: "I am both very excited and thrilled at the fantastic response we received at Parkex.

"It clearly confirms that the view of car park owners is the same the world over - they are looking for greater safety in their car parks, plus a better return on investment.

"StopAd gives them both - and all from exactly the same number of car parking spaces.

"The fitting requires no drilling, and our sturdy, but very flexible product, stays in place perfectly once fitted.

"We have made many new contacts at the Parkex show - both in Europe, China and beyond, plus here in the UK, and we ready to step up our production to accommodate our new forthcoming orders."
