St. Louis, Missouri – June 29, 2006 – GPX, a premier designer and manufacturer of the consumer electronics industry’s most popular and feature-driven audio and video products, today announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Opta Corporation for the GoVideo brand. In a move that guarantees the continued success of GoVideo’s innovative product line, GPX will assume all responsibility for marketing GoVideo’s patented Dual-Deck systems as well as design and manufacturing activities surrounding a new and growing line of digital video playback solutions.
“We look forward to leveraging our market experience, technology strengths and deep customer relationships to help continue the success of GoVideo and build on the line and brand,” said Bill Fetter, CEO of GPX. “The GoVideo line is a great addition to the GPX family of products, and this license is one of the many developments we have implemented in connection with our strategic growth initiatives.”
Under the arrangement, GPX becomes the exclusive licensee for all existing GoVideo component products at retail. GPX will also be developing additional video innovations to focus on the key strengths of the Dual-Deck format along with a complete line of new DVD offerings and additional cool and stylized personal video products. The expanded line-up of products will be on shelves in fall of 2006 at fine consumer electronics retailers nationwide.
