Business Wire
XPEL Technologies Corp. (TSXV:DAP.U) has announced the
acquisition of certain assets of Connectin Europe, B.V. and the
concurrent establishment of XPEL B.V., in Tilburg, Netherlands to
serve as a sales, distribution, training and design center in
mainland Europe for automative paint protection film, headlight
protection film, automotive window film and related products.
Ryan Pape, President and Chief Executive Officer of XPEL,
commented, “Connectin has been a long-term partner for XPEL and
this acquisition is a natural next step to further strengthen our
presence in Europe and advance our strategy to get close to our end
customers in key international markets. This acquisition
complements our existing U.K. facility and broadens our footprint,
capabilities and brand recognition in the strategically important
European market.”
Europe is recognized as the epicenter of luxury car production
and important to the long-term growth of XPEL as the manufacturers
of a majority of the cars that XPEL’s products protect are located
on the continent.
Mr. Pape continued, “We believe the addition of our Netherlands
operation will enable us to better leverage our existing
relationships with dealerships and other distribution partners
across Europe to grow market share and broaden awareness of the
XPEL brand.”
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
