PressOn Automotive Launches Innovative Vehicle Wrapping and PPF Solutions Service in Whitstable, Kent following Successful Acquisition of VSM.

PressOn Automotive, the newest venture from the thriving PressOn family, renowned for its industry-leading Large Format Print solutions, proudly announces its official launch. Specialising in cutting-edge Vehicle Wrapping and Paint Protection Film (PPF) services, PressOn Automotive is set to revolutionise the automotive aesthetics industry, leveraging existing relationships with HP and MetaMark.?

Following a strategic acquisition of VSM, PressOn Automotive hopes to solidify its position as a premier provider of vehicle customisation services. Leveraging the extensive experience and industry knowledge inherited from its parent company, PressOn under the guidance of Owner, Andrew Wilson.

“The operation has been born out of talks between PressOn Chief Andy Wilson and James Tilley, owner of Whitstable-based vehicle wrapping specialist VSM, which closed in December 2023. Tilley is heading-up the new venture, which is 100% owned by PressOn, and operating from a new site in the town with three staff from the former VSM and two from PressOn.

“I’ve been looking for ways to grow the business for some time, but as PressOn is already quite diverse in what it does it has been difficult to work out where to go next. James Tilley came to talk to me about 18 months ago, then I had my eyes opened at FESPA’s WrapFest where I realised there’s a whole other industry converging with ours - high-end car detailing that includes protection and colour changing wraps. Then buildings came up near where VSM was, so we talked again and decided to set-up this new venture. We’ve spent more than ￡100,000 just fitting the place it out - there’s climate control, specialist lighting, non-slip floors etc.”

The cornerstone of PressOn Automotive's success lies in its strategic partnership with HP.? Utilising HP Latex software and the state-of-the-art HP Latex 630 W series printer, the cutting-edge technology ensures precision, durability, and vibrant colour reproduction. The accuracy of each print negates the need for costly reprints, lessening any wasted material, helping PressOn to continue its mission to reduce any wastage and reduce it’s carbon footprint.?

Maintaining its commitment to excellence, PressOn Automotive is pleased to continue PressOn’s partnership with MetaMark, a leading provider of high-performance PPF and Wrap films. The collaboration with MetaMark guarantees that PressOn Automotive will utilise top-of-the-line materials to wrap and protect luxury cars, providing clients with a perfect blend of style and durability for any make and model of car.

"We are thrilled to introduce PressOn Automotive to the world," said Charlotte, Marketing Manager at PressOn Automotive. "Our extensive experience in Large Format Printing, combined with the expertise gained through the acquisition of VSM and its existing team, positions us as leaders in the vehicle customisation industry. With HP's cutting-edge technology and MetaMark's premium materials, PressOn Automotive is ready to redefine the standards of vehicle wrapping and PPF."
