Stratford, CT (PRWEB) November 16, 2007 -- Expand International, who started manufacturing trade show displays 60 years ago and has become known as the BMW of the portable display industry, sets the mark for high quality and unsurpassed reliability at a cost. With a life time warranty and ISO 9001 certified plant Expand International continues to lead the way in the portable display industry with the introduction of its new portable flags and a zero tolerance for poor working conditions, sometime horrifically exemplified by child labor in low cost factories. In addition to its labor policy Expand also has the same Quality and Environmental policies in place for all of its facilities, regardless if they are in Europe, USA or China.

"Expand is a very unique company in the display industry, it does not tolerate poor labor practices in any of its factories. Expand has a green friendly corporate policy and has an ISO 9001 certified plant. In todays display market we see products coming in from overseas that use very poor labor standards and whose factories and products are far from meeting the standards of the US market."

In talking with Bjorn G. Sao from Expand International of America we were told that "Expand could make their products cheaper but then we would be like the majority of the foreign manufacturers who sell to US importers in the portable display (http://expandmedia.com/us) industry. We do not make disposal equipment or limited use displays". Expands spends a great deal of money for product liability insurance and does not hire children in our overseas factories and has a five day work week similar to the United States.

"Look at places like Amazon or Craig's list or the Internet, the same retractable banner stands are being sold under various names by many companies and ask a question-who is behind this company and who assembled these units". The same is true for the pop up displays, Internet web sites have the same displays being sold under many different names and they are being imported for their low cost not how well they function or how long they will last. If a company is looking for a disposable display system then Expand International is not the company you want to be considering. If you are looking for a product that works well under various conditions and has a life time warranty (http://expandmedia.com/us) and has a green policy then look at Expand.

"Expands products are not inexpensive compared to many other companies in the business but Expand manufactures products to the highest levels and as a company maintain the highest set of quality standards for labor practices, don't cut corners with materials and have a Green friendly factory."

In the world of trade show displays you get what you pay for. While well-designed websites give the illusion that every company is selling quality trade show booths and display hardware once the consumer looks closer they are finding a wide range of quality from company-to-company and the same products just being sold under various names.

Look at Expand Internationals (http://www.expandmedia.com) new outdoor flag system and the buyer, the marketing department or sales team will find that a great deal of time has been spent in the engineering for longevity of life in all types of weather conditions. The Flag Stand XL is a portable flag stand perfect for all outdoor events, marketing activities and product campaigns. It is very stable even in strong winds, up to 35 miles per hour and can be used in almost any weather conditions and is over 18 feet tall. Expand offers something different and it carries the Expand life time warranty and is backed by a 65 year old company.

The freestanding Expand flag stand 1 is available with either a 'X' base or an optional ground stake goes up in minutes. Graphics are printed onto one or both sides of fabric so that the image will read whichever side it is viewed from. The Expand Flag-stand 1 is available in three different heights -- 6.5 feet, 10 feet and 13 feet and are a perfect complement to the outdoor double sided retractable banner stand that was introduced by Expand last year.

The flags are truly spectacular and have been tested in wind guests up to 35 miles per hour and have preformed very well. Weather an event being held in a park, the beach, the snow or the desert or a parking lot these flags will make your product stand out and be visible from one end of a football field to the other. Expands flag and pole system are the best offered on the market today and are backed with a lifetime warranty, integrity and quality standards that others try to copy and say there products are similar to or like but they are not.

Expand International who started manufacturing trade show displays 60 years ago and has become know as the BMW of the portable display (http://www.expandmedia.com/us) industry sets the mark for high quality and unsurpassed reliability. For outdoor retractable banner stands, out door marketing events and giant flags and portable flag poles Expand International is the leader in the display industry and has not used child labor and have a green policy.
