Consider these advances:

• In November 2004, Stopol launches www.stopolauctions.com, the industry’s first online auction Web site. Unlike other auction sites, www.stopolauctions.com offers a unique benefit: two-way, real-time communication, which allows bidders to direct questions to the auctioneer during the event while sitting in front of their PC.
• Stopol was the first plastics industry company to take advantage of broadcast faxes and broadcast emails.
• Before Stopol, buying equipment from a broker was a risky endeavor. At best, you had a Polaroid of a piece of equipment as the only assurance of a machine’s quality. Stopol wasn’t comfortable with that, so it began videotaping the equipment.
• Stopol also was the first plastics machine broker to employ a truly national sales team of industry experts.
