UPPF has taken a major step forward in strengthening its global support ecosystem with the grand opening of its new Technical Center in Shanghai. Spanning approximately 3,000 square feet, the facility is purpose-built to deliver faster product support, enhance quality management, and expand installer training programs for dealers and partners across Asia and international markets.
The launch reinforces UPPF’s long-standing commitment to practical innovation and customer success—an approach clearly reflected in the center’s guiding theme: “Your Growth, Our Mission.”
A Strategic Move to Support Faster, Smarter Growth
Shanghai was a deliberate choice for the new Technical Center. As one of Asia’s most connected manufacturing and innovation hubs, the city offers access to deep technical expertise, efficient logistics, and rapid response capabilities.
“This Technical Center is built to help our customers win, every day,” said Frank Qin, CEO of UPPF. By establishing the facility in Shanghai, UPPF is positioned to respond more quickly to film-handling questions, installation challenges, and product optimization needs—key factors in maintaining high standards across diverse markets.
The new center reflects UPPF’s focus on operational excellence, ensuring that partners receive not just products, but the technical knowledge and support required to maximize performance in real-world applications.
Empowering Installers Through Hands-On Expertise
At the core of the Shanghai Technical Center is a comprehensive training and support framework designed for installers at every level—from beginners to advanced professionals.
“It’s about speed, consistency, and know-how,” explained Peter Wong, Brand Director at UPPF. The facility delivers hands-on installation training, rapid troubleshooting, and continuous R&D support, equipping installers and distributors with practical tools to improve efficiency, reduce rework, and achieve consistently high-quality finishes.
This focus on installer education is especially critical in today’s competitive surface protection and automotive film market, where precision, throughput, and quality directly impact business growth.
