XPEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: XPEL) is a manufacturer and distributor of protective films, coatings, and related services primarily serving the automotive aftermarket. Its product lineup includes automotive paint protection films (PPF), windshield protection, window films (for both automotive and architectural applications), ceramic coatings, after-care products, and installation tools and accessories. A notable differentiator in its business model is its proprietary DAP (Design Access Program) software, which provides pre-cut patterns matched to specific vehicle makes and models, supporting both DIY installers and professional shops.
The company sells through a multi-channel distribution network spanning independent installers, franchised dealers, new car dealerships, third-party distributors, automotive OEMs, company-owned installation centers, and e-commerce. XPEL was founded in 1997, is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, and operates internationally across North America, the Asia Pacific (including China and India), the European Union, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America. As a small-cap stock in the Consumer Discretionary sector, the company sits within the broader automotive parts and equipment industry, where PPF and window tint demand is tied to vehicle parc size, consumer spending on vehicle personalization, and the adoption of protective coatings by dealerships and OEMs.
