Bristol, United Kingdom – 1st September 2026 – Spandex, a leading global supplier to the vehicle wrapping and graphics industry, has announced a new partnership with Encirco, a UK-based trade-only design and production specialist, to deliver a fully supported supply chain for STEK pre-cut Paint Protection Film (PPF) kits.

This collaboration introduces a new, cohesive approach to supplying pre-cut PPF kits to the UK market – combining Spandex’s distribution expertise with Encirco’s in-house production capabilities. Using genuine STEK material supplied exclusively by Spandex, Encirco will manufacture precision-cut kits for installers, ensuring consistent product quality, traceability, and performance.

A Connected Supply Chain Built for the Trade

The partnership addresses a longstanding gap in the market for a fully integrated, trade-focused supply chain for pre-cut PPF kits. Customers benefit from seamless support across both organisations – from their Spandex account manager through to Encirco as their dedicated kit production partner.

This joined-up approach ensures that nothing falls through the gaps. Whether installers need product guidance, order updates, or aftercare support, they can rely on a connected partnership working on their behalf.

Encirco operates exclusively within the vehicle wrapping and PPF industry as a non-competitive supplier. With no installation services or competing interests, the business is dedicated solely to supporting trade professionals – offering a knowledgeable, approachable service built around the real needs of installers.

Each kit is produced using genuine STEK PPF and is supplied complete with technical data sheets, batch tracking, extended warranty information, and recommended aftercare guidance as standard. This allows installers to focus on delivering high-quality work, with confidence that the supporting details are handled.

Luke Odell, Automotive Development Manager at Spandex UK, said:

“Our partnership with Encirco is all about making high-quality PPF solutions more accessible to our customers. Not every installer has the facilities or time to produce pre-cut kits in-house, so having a trusted, trade-only production partner removes that barrier. By combining Encirco’s precision cutting capabilities with genuine STEK material supplied by Spandex, we’re giving installers a reliable way to maintain efficiency, reduce downtime and deliver consistent, high-quality results – without compromise.”

Iris Conn, Company Director at Encirco, commented:

“Being named as Spandex UK’s recommended supplier for pre-cut STEK PPF kits is a recognition of everything we’ve built at Encirco. Our quality processes, production capability, and the expertise we’ve developed working exclusively within this industry. STEK is one of the most respected PPF brands in the industry and having the opportunity to work alongside Spandex UK is a foundation we’re proud to build on. STEK is a product we believe in completely, and working alongside the people who know it best means we can offer something the trade has been missing.”

Expanding Access to the Full STEK Range

Through this partnership, customers gain access to the complete STEK PPF range in precision pre-cut kit format, enabling greater flexibility across a wide variety of vehicle applications. As new vehicle templates are released, the available library will continue to expand – ensuring installers can keep pace with market demand and vehicle trends.

The service is particularly beneficial for installers without in-house cutting capabilities, those experiencing equipment downtime, or businesses looking to scale efficiently without additional capital investment.

By combining trusted materials, specialist production, and end-to-end support, Spandex and Encirco are delivering a solution designed to help installers work more efficiently, reduce waste, and take on projects with greater confidence.
