The automotive protection industry is thriving, with Paint Protection Film (PPF) and window tinting now essential services for vehicle owners around the world. Yet, for many installers, there’s a missed opportunity to move beyond just providing services and toward building a scalable, profitable business.
Apeax is rewriting that story.
More than just a supplier of premium PPF and tint, Apeax is a global partner dedicated to helping installers transition into successful entrepreneurs. Through advanced business models, robust support systems, and cutting-edge training programs, Apeax empowers partners to grow faster, serve more clients, and elevate their status in their markets.
Here’s how Apeax is equipping installers with the tools they need to go from technicians to business owners—and beyond.
The Problem: Skilled Installers, Limited Growth
Many installers focus heavily on perfecting their craft—which is critical—but often lack the time, resources, or knowledge to scale their business beyond a local shop. In a growing and highly competitive market, technical skills alone are no longer enough.
What’s missing? The business systems, marketing expertise, and network-building capabilities needed to achieve long-term success.
Apeax steps in to bridge that gap.
We’ve designed a business-first partnership model that goes beyond selling PPF and tint products. It’s about helping our partners build sustainable, high-performing businesses.
The Apeax Partnership Model: Built for Scalability
At Apeax, we offer a multi-tiered partnership structure that allows installers and entrepreneurs at all stages to plug into a growth-focused ecosystem. Whether you’re a solo operator or a multi-location company, there’s a pathway for you to scale.
1. Installer Program
Our Installer Program is designed for detailers, tint shops, and PPF professionals who want to take their service offering to the next level. This program gives businesses immediate access to:
- Premium products featuring self-healing, hydrophobic, and low-water installation technologies.
- Marketing resources, such as customizable social media content, brochures, and banners.
- Access to free online training or discounted in person training to elevate installation speed, quality, and efficiency.
- Lead generation campaigns driven by the Apeax marketing team to funnel customers directly to your shop.
This program is more than just about product supply—it’s about giving installers the tools to win in their local markets and grow revenues.
2. Wholesale Program
For businesses ready to stock and resell Apeax products, the Wholesale Program provides higher-volume discounts and additional perks, such as:
- Early access to new product launches (e.g., Color PPF, 72-inch Gloss PPF, Windscreen Protection Film).
- Priority business coaching on how to increase margins and improve operational efficiency.
- Co-branded marketing campaigns designed to attract B2B and B2C clients alike.
The Wholesale Program is perfect for shops looking to serve their own clients while also building a revenue stream through local resale opportunities.
3. Exclusive Distribution
For larger organizations or entrepreneurs looking to manage an entire territory, Apeax offers Exclusive Distribution Opportunities in select markets.
Exclusive distributors receive regional rights, becoming the face of Apeax in their market. They are tasked with onboarding new installers into the Apeax Installer Program, growing wholesale networks, and expanding the brand’s footprint.
With territory exclusivity comes the potential for exponential revenue growth—and the chance to become a regional leader in the premium PPF and tint market.
