Thule, Inc., to Introduce New Karrite Products to 2008 Professional Line at 2007 SEMA Show In Las Vegas, October 30 - November 2

    LAS VEGAS and SEYMOUR, Conn., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Thule, Inc., the
world's leading manufacturer of premium load carriers for all vehicles,
will debut its Karrite Full Frame Truck Rack System as part of its 2008
Professional line of contractor-grade rack systems and accessories at the
2007 SEMA Show (Booth no. 33209) being held at The Las Vegas Convention
Center, October 30 through November 2.
    "Our new Karrite rack system is perfect for contractors looking for the
ultimate combination of strength, style, and value in one truck rack
system," said Kevin Harris, director of the Thule Professional line. "The
Karrite system has all the right features with industry-leading ease of
assembly and style that are sure to make it the new benchmark in steel
pickup truck racks," added Harris.
    The Karrite Full Frame Rack System consists of 2" OD heavy duty steel
tubes to provide maximum strength. A removable rear load bar makes loading
tall items hassle free. Additionally, the new system, along with all of
Thule's existing Karrite base rack systems, offers excellent corrosion
resistance with double layer protection. The steel is e-coated for maximum
rust resistance and then powder coated to ensure ultimate durability. The
flexible design allows for maximum vehicle coverage with a minimum SKU
assortment.
    The new rack system is offered in two sizes and for both open bed and
cap- equipped pickup truck applications, and will be available in March
2008 at a wide range of automotive accessory aftermarket retailers across
the country. For more information, visit http://www.thulepro.com.
