January Notes from Mike.
Happy New Year! Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and have enjoyed the holiday season!
As I take time during the New Year holiday to reflect on the past 365 days, I have to say I am impressed. I am impressed with each of our incredible Dr. Shrink team members, for adjusting to the ever-changing ways we needed to continue to provide world-class customer service. I am impressed with all of our customers, for continuing to grow and advance the industry of shrink wrap during this unprecedented time. And finally, I am impressed with how we have all come together to collaborate, share new ideas, and continue to grow the shrink wrap industry.
I know I speak for all of us here at Dr. Shrink when I say, THANK YOU. Thank you to each of you, our loyal customers, for supporting us during a truly historic and unprecedented year. We all look forward to working with you, and hopefully seeing many of you at shows and events in 2021. Happy New Year!

Recent Shrink Wrap Work in Australia at Gold Coast City Marina & Shipyard
Two superyacht refit and refinishing projects (the 243 foot Dragonfly and the 207 foot SuRi)– all possible by using shrink wrap to contain and fully encapsulate the yachts while they were repainted and other work was being done. As stated in the article, GCCM CEO Trenton Gay said that the completion of these projects demonstrated the yard’s ever-evolving and expanding marine refit and repair capabilities.
“Worldwide, it is well known that repainting sizeable yachts presents numerous challenges for captains and crews with regard to sourcing shipyards with the right capabilities and being able to undertake mammoth paint projects in a timely and cost-effective manner,” Gay said.
“Painting large-scale yachts on water is arguably the silver bullet of the marine refit and repair industry because it alleviates the need to lift the vessels out of the water while also allowing crew to stay on board and other interiors or motor maintenance work to be progressed at the same time, representing wins all-round,” he said.
Based on these two successful projects, Australian local and state government authorities have, for the first time, issued an Environmental Authority (EA) for GCCM to be able to undertake such projects on an ongoing basis. More large-scale jobs like these are already lining up for next year.
