XPEL announced on September 11, 2025 that it had acquired assets of its exclusive aftermarket distributor in China. The company said the transaction structure would give it a 76% interest in the entity conducting that business.
The release placed the acquisition within XPEL’s move toward more direct involvement in major international markets. Management said it expected closer involvement to support work with vehicle manufacturers and dealership channels.
For the window-film trade, the change concerned the distribution structure of a supplier whose portfolio also includes paint-protection films and coatings. It was not a window-tint-only acquisition or a new tint-product launch.
The release included revenue expectations and other forward-looking statements. This historical brief does not treat those forecasts as achieved sales, or establish what happened to individual dealers after the transaction. The acquisition account comes from XPEL’s own announcement.
