Bringing the World's Most Advanced Above and Below Waterline Protection Technology to the North American Marine Industry
Newport Beach, California — June 1, 2026 — King of Boat Care, the industry's premier marine appearance training, certification, and marine protection solutions company, is proud to announce its exclusive North American distribution partnership with GSUIT, a global leader in advanced protection film technology.
Through this landmark agreement, King of Boat Care will serve as the exclusive North American distributor of GSUIT Marine Protection Film, delivering a revolutionary solution designed to protect vessels both above and below the waterline from the harsh realities of the marine environment.
The partnership positions King of Boat Care and its installation company, Armor Shield (PPFforBoats.com), at the forefront of marine surface protection technology, offering boat owners, manufacturers, dealerships, marinas, and yacht management companies access to one of the most advanced marine protection films ever developed.
A New Era of Marine Protection
The ocean is relentless. Sun. Salt. Dock impacts. Abrasion. Oxidation. Every day, vessels are exposed to some of the most demanding environmental conditions on earth.
GSUIT Marine Protection Film was engineered specifically to meet these challenges head-on. Manufactured in South Korea and trusted worldwide, GSUIT specializes in advanced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) protection films that deliver exceptional resistance to yellowing, chipping, staining, discoloration, and environmental damage. Developed through extensive research, innovation, and quality control, GSUIT has earned a global reputation for excellence across automotive, aviation, marine, and specialty industries.
“This partnership represents a significant leap forward for vessel preservation and marine surface protection. Boat owners have invested millions into protecting engines, electronics, and mechanical systems. Now they have access to a true armor system for the surfaces they see and touch every day.”
Exclusive North American Distribution
As the exclusive North American distributor, King of Boat Care will oversee the expansion of GSUIT Marine Protection Film throughout the United States and Canada through its nationwide network of certified marine protection film installers operating under the Armor Shield and PPFforBoats.com brands.
Every installation is performed by trained professionals utilizing precision-cut application techniques specifically designed for marine environments.
