San Antonio, Texas -- XPEL Technologies Corp. has completed its transaction of UK-based Paintshield Ltd through the purchase of 100 percent of Paintshield's shares.
Prior to the transaction, Paintshield worked with XPEL as both a product dealer and design arm for XPEL's European pattern development activities.
