The language of stoichiometry, or simply
the mathematical method of modeling chemical reactions, was the brainstorm of
founder Claudio Burtin in the early 1980’s. His innovation became the core of his
family-owned polyurethane composite-making business. Claudio later developed a high-pressure
polyurethane spray to shoot into the cargo areas of pickup trucks to create an
instant bedliner.
Today, LINE-X represents the automotive
aftermarket as the industry leader in truck bed protection, and just recently
surpassed the two million milestone in spray-on truck bedliners. For the second straight year,
LINE-X also was awarded the Number One
ranking in the Miscellaneous Auto Products & Services category by Entrepreneur Magazine.
“We’ve achieved a great deal since
the polyurethane composite business was just a blueprint,” said Scott Jewett,
CEO of LINE-X Franchise Development Corporation.
“With a dedicated support team and a
category-leading product and application, our franchise network and overall
growth has thrived. We’re proud that we’ve been able to make a positive
contribution to the bedliner industry and to the franchise network that’s
supported our growth through the years. We’re looking forward to greater
milestones for LINE-X over the next several years.”
Over the last 13 years, LINE-X has
matured into fastest growing new U.S. brand franchise. Distribution of the
LINE-X product is now handled through more than 500 franchise operations in
North America with representation globally in nearly 15 countries.
“Two million units marks a production
milestone, highlighting 13 years of quality service,” added Jewett.
“LINE-X is a company that’s growing, and our brand image continues to
strengthen. Every franchise owner who works in our operations is proud of
the products we offer our customers and of the contributions we make to LINE-X’s
