Is Nick Car Cover Imported or Domestically Produced?
3 Answers
Nick Car Cover is domestically produced. It is a brand under Guangzhou Nick Automotive Supplies Co., Ltd., specializing in paint protection films (invisible car covers). Nick is one of the early domestic enterprises to develop TPU materials. The series of products developed include (TPU) invisible transparent oxhide protection film, car interior handle rhinoceros leather, PET protection film, car body color-changing film, etc., and also provide OEM white-label manufacturing services. A car cover is automotive clothing, also known as a car hood or car garment. High-quality car covers are made of high-density flame-retardant fabric with super waterproof effects. The car cover has flame-retardant functions, and the material is soft, ensuring no scratches on the car paint.
I've been following car wraps for a long time, and Nick Car Film is indeed often mistaken for a purely imported brand. In reality, it follows a typical Sino-foreign collaboration model: core technology comes from American laboratories, while production is based in Guangdong. Last year, I visited their factory and saw fully automated production lines using German Kleister equipment, but with raw materials being Korean-imported TPU base film and American adhesive. This hybrid approach has become quite popular in recent years, ensuring the hydrophobic coating meets anti-yellowing standards while saving 30% in costs compared to pure imports. I recommend checking the small print on the packaging that says 'Made in China with US Technology' - this explains it clearly, as many major brands now operate this way.
As a budget-conscious car owner, I've studied the cost structure of Nick car wraps. Their U.S. headquarters is responsible for developing new nano-coatings, but all production takes place at their factory in Yantai Free Trade Zone, Shandong. Interestingly, after leaving the factory, the products are shipped to the U.S. for labeling and then sold back to the domestic market, creating a 're-import' phenomenon. Take the market price of 16,800 yuan for a paint protection film—after deducting international shipping and tariffs, the actual production cost is less than one-third. So there's really no need to blindly trust purely imported products; nowadays, domestically produced lines actually offer more stable quality control.
