Harry Rahman says the overall goal of his new company, ProLayers, is pretty simple: make sure the little guy doesn’t get neglected.

“This industry is built on small entrepreneurs,” says Rahman, formerly of XPEL and Veloce Innovation. “I want to bridge the gap between the resources that are available to them versus those that are available to larger companies.”

Rahman officially launched ProLayers on May 1. The company supplies window film for the commercial, residential and automotive sectors, but Rahman says it will offer a service to its dealer network that he hopes will be just as valuable.

Harry Rahman has launched ProLayers.

“ProLayers offers a full support system to help companies grow,” he says. “We have marketing, operations and even legal consultants available for our dealers.”

One of the biggest things he wants to help dealers with, Rahman says, is how to keep repeat customers.

“It’s great that film products last a long time, but that also creates one of the industry’s biggest problems,” he says. “If a dealer tints all the windows in someone’s house, that customer isn’t going to need the dealer’s services again until they move.”

Rahman says he launched ProLayers to help dealers create a model where they can continue to sell other solutions to the same customers rather than having to constantly spend time, money and energy finding new customers.

Rahman also wants ProLayers to avoid conflicts of interest as much as possible.

“ProLayers won’t operate any retail businesses, and it will only offer one brand,” he says. “We’re also not going to sell online.”

He says the company will select its dealer network carefully.

“They have to have the desire and ability to grow, while maintaining strong values,” Rahman says.

This isn’t his first time starting a window film business. Rahman helped launch Huper Optik, Autobahn and Edge, and founded Veloce Innovation in 2019, a Houston-based film company that XPEL acquired in 2021. He also helped expand Xpel’s architectural film segment before leaving to commit to ProLayers.

“My kids were young at the time, so I left the company to spend more time with them,” he says. “Now that they’re teenagers, I can invest more time in a business again.”

ProLayers won’t be limited to window film products, Rahman says.

“I’m in negotiations with a company that produces something that film cannot do, but that can be sold in the architectural film market,” he says.

ProLayers’ architectural line is up-and-running, Rahman says, and the automotive tint and paint protection film lines will officially launch over the course of the next few months.

ProLayers has also signed on as a Ruby sponsor for the 2026 International Window Film Conference and Tint-Off™ (WFCT).
