St. Louis, MO — June 23, 2025 — Grimco Expands into 3M Personal Auto Portfolio, Bringing Full Access, Expert Support, and Industry-Leading Products to Customers Nationwide 

Grimco, the leading distributor of 3M™ graphic solutions, is proud to announce its official expansion into the 3M™ Personal Auto portfolio. This launch brings customers access to the complete lineup of 3M™ automotive restyling and protection products, including 3M™ Automotive Window Film, 3M™ Paint Protection Film, and 3M™ Ceramic Coating, rounding out Grimco’s already-strong offerings of 3M™ Wrap Film Series 2080, 3M™ Protection Wrap Film, and the 3M™ line of print wrap films.  

This exciting expansion marks a new chapter in the long-standing partnership between 3M™ and Grimco. It brings together 3M’s legacy of innovation with Grimco’s unmatched distribution reach, including next-day delivery in most markets, and a nationwide team of Personal Auto Experts dedicated to helping customers find the right solution for their business.  

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our 3M Personal Auto Products into Grimco,” said Mike Beaver, 3M US Branding and Transportation. “This exciting venture is designed to enhance accessibility and convenience to our valued Personal Auto customers. Together, we are committed to driving innovation and delivering exceptional value to the Personal Auto market—giving consumers a chance to have 3M products on their vehicles and businesses more opportunity to do business with 3M. 

 

Grimco is now a one-stop-shop for the full 3M™ Personal Auto solution, designed to help restylers, detailers, and graphics professionals grow their businesses with the support they need—when and how they need it. In preparation for this launch, Grimco’s coast-to-coast team of Personal Auto Experts received hands-on training directly from 3M™, ensuring they can provide knowledgeable, responsive service to customers nationwide. 

Customers will also gain access to the 3M™ Pattern Marketplace—a powerful online-based software platform offering nearly 4,500 paint protection film and window tint patterns, with frequently added new patterns and updates. Unlike many proprietary platforms, Pattern Marketplace is open-access and offers flexible subscription options, making it easy for more businesses to work with 3M™ products.

Grimco is committed to helping our customers grow, and the partnership with 3M’s Personal Auto division is a major step in that direction,” said Greg Shove, Grimco’s Director of Corporate Strategy. “3M™ builds the best products in the world for graphics, traffic, and automotive solutions, and we are thrilled to partner with them in the Personal Auto space. We look forward to serving existing 3M™ Personal Auto customers with next-day delivery across the U.S. and engaging our current customer base to grow the market.

Whether it’s color change films, ceramic coating, or industry-best window and paint protection films, Grimco now offers a complete solution that blends 3M’s world-class innovation with Grimco’s commitment to customer success, next-day delivery in most markets, and unparalleled support.
