Company Overview

XPEL, Inc. is a leading manufacturer and distributor of advanced protective films and coatings for automotive, marine, aviation, and architectural applications.

Marc Yoshida remains closely involved as chairman, while Steve Gilmore, appointed president and chief executive officer, oversees global operations and strategic growth initiatives. Under their guidance, XPEL continues to invest in research and development, aiming to expand its product range and enter new markets in the protective coatings industry.
