High-quality products for the automotive and architectural glass industries have gained CPFilms an excellent reputation: the LLumar brand represents the very highest standards, with the finest materials and strict quality controls used in its processing.In order to combine its European and global market activities, including all sales subsidiaries, and demonstrate its leading position in the premium market segment for special-purpose films, CPFilms will in future apply the Llumar trade name to the products it sells in all fields. Richard Kirchner, Sales Director of CPFilms UK, will strengthen LLumar’s market penetration still further in the recently developed business areas of – architectural glass, anti-graffiti films and security films – and also consolidate its leading position in the automotive segment.



The LLumar logo has been thoroughly revised, with new, modern lettering accompanied by a stylised sun. The new claim ‘Upgrade your glass’ is a clear indication of what Llumar has to offer. An American company with a long tradition, it is well established in both the automobile and sheet glass sectors of the market and, with its retro-finishing of glass surfaces, achieves a genuine increase in functional value as well as enhancing. Richard Kirchner: “The new corporate identity will stimulate our brand presence. We are demonstrating this with our new logo, which has clear lines and a tidier appearance. Even for a company with a long tradition such as CPFilms, a modern approach to the market is essential for successful trading.”
