Great news! 20,000 store fixtures! Wow!

Wish I did not live on the left coast so I could attend the shareholders meeting.

Hmmmm, let's do a little dissecting of the latest news and delay of shareholder's meeting:
COMMENT: ... shareholders should be able to view over 20,000 store fixtures ...
RESPONSE: If the shareholders can view them and you already said it was going to Lowe's, why not just tell what they are?
COMMENT: ... to accomodate operational needs, a reschedule of the shareholder meeting was requested and approved.
RESPONSE: If you moved it up a couple of days it seems like there wouldn't be a need for a two week delay ... unless it was intentional to create an aura of busyness, i.e., "showtime"!

I love it when a good show comes together. Maybe there will be a stage for the new and ex-ceo's with banjos, straw hats, canes and a bluegrass band. I'm dying to hear all about it, if it isn't delayed because all the trucks blocking entry.

WOWZA, this was so unexpected ;-)

Great news..

It would seem that LOWES still believes that EXPO's displays are the best for their stores..To increase an order from 2000 to 20,000 displays for LOWES is a huge step forward for EXPO..Since these displays can be seen at the upcoming shareholder's meeting..the speculation of what they are made of is just that.. speculation..and IMO is being used to distract away from the news..The investors that attend the meeting can verify what material is being used first hand..I do think I will pay a visit to LOWES later today because I am working on a few projects and take a look at their displays for myself..I am also curious where these displays are going within the stores..I'll report what I find..I believe I saw a post today about the webcam being back on..I am not able to connect for some reason today..so just what exactly is being shown today..TIA

Again today's news does show that the company is spending to increase production of products..

The company is legit and does business with one of the biggest companies in the industry..I look forward to the "current" status becoming a reality.. the name of the new CEO and etc entering the retail side..As was stated by the company about etc..

"Glenn Harrs, CEO, stated, "We are progressing at a pace in line with management's expectations. However, interest has increased over the past two weeks. We have our initial negotiation with a major home-center chain scheduled for this week. This home-center chain approached the company unsolicited. Additionally, we are preparing for further negotiations with one of our existing larger customers. The company continues to expect light distribution in 2009, with heavier distribution beginning in early 2010. Further updates will be issued."

Given the recent update that the company is going to outsource for some etc parts and the ramping up of etc production..I would bet that at least one of the existing larger customers said yes...veno

nice> "At our shareholders meeting shareholders should be able to view over 20,000 store fixtures in production that are scheduled for use by Lowe's companies, Inc. Demand for these displays recently increased from just over 2000 units to over
20,000 units."

nice also! > The company anticipates more than 20 tractor-trailer loads of raw materials for this project to arrive beginning on or about the 1st week of September.
