CINCINNATI, OH -- Pick Ups Plus, automotive aftermarket accessory and environmental protection retailer, recently had its product line featured at the 2006 China International Automotive Aftermarket Industry Fair (CIAAI).

The company's products were on display by the company’s Chinese distributor. Based on its success in the Beijing market, Pick Ups Plus has now identified a number of potential sales in the three other largest markets in China: Shanghai, Guanghua and Shenzhen. The company is currently assessing various market penetration strategies that will allow Pick Ups Plus to increase its reach in these targeted markets.

China's auto market has been growing at an astonishing rate when compared to 2002. During that period, the auto output in the Asia-Pacific region was 21.9 million units, which exceeded the figures for Europe and America.

Last year, China exceeded sales of more than five million vehicles, and has become the world's third largest auto market. The growth of the automobile industry in China has become a hot topic drawing both nationwide and worldwide attention creating a huge opportunity for development.

"We are very pleased by the response to our ValuGard Environmental Protection and Car Care Products at the CIAAI show in China," said Pick Ups Plus Chairman Merritt Jesson. "The company is quite excited by the initial response from the show and is now forging relationships in China's largest cities to distribute our products."
