In a bold move underscoring its long-term vision and adaptability, Ziebart has renewed its master franchise license in Canada, strengthening a relationship that spans six decades. With 91 active stores across the country, Ziebart continues to offer trusted vehicle protection services tailored for Canada’s challenging winter conditions.
The brand isn’t stopping there. Ziebart is also expanding south into Mexico, launching three locations in Mexico City and an additional seven outlets in high-growth regions throughout the country. This expansion marks the company’s first major push into Latin America, reflecting the increasing demand for vehicle protection solutions in global markets.
“Since beginning our Canadian journey in Windsor in 1965, we’ve consistently evolved to meet the needs of vehicle owners,” said Maurice Filion, President of Uniban Canada. “This renewed partnership represents our shared success and future growth.”
Mexico presents a promising landscape for Ziebart, with its robust franchise economy and growing automotive aftercare market. CEO Thomas A. Wolfe emphasized that rising consumer demand for rust protection and detailing services makes the country a natural fit for the brand's proven business model. The new locations are expected to create jobs and bring high-quality vehicle protection to a new generation of customers.
As Ziebart scales across North America, this dual-market expansion illustrates the brand’s commitment to global growth and franchise development.
