Austrian Triain Moldovan was crowned World Wrap Masters Champion after four days of competition at Fespa in May.
The World Wrap Masters competition, sponsored by Hexis, Mimaki, Wrap Gear and Car Wrapper 3D, ran throughout the year and concluded in Munich with two competitions, Wrap Masters Europe and the World Wrap Masters Series Final.
Wrap Masters Europe took place from 14–15 May, with 30 competitors from 12 countries battling it out for a place in the Series Final. Casper Madsen from CWRAP//Colors in Denmark took the title of European Wrap Master, with Triain Moldovan from TM Wraps in Austria and Giovanni Rosas Linares from TopCar Performance in Mexico taking second and third place respectively.
On 16 and 17 May, the top three went head to head with the winners of previous World Wrap Masters events: Wrap Masters Asia, Mexico and Eurasia, Speedwrap at Fespa Africa and Cambea at Fespa Brasil, as well as national wrap events in Denmark and Finland. The finalists were challenged with wrapping Volkswagen Golf cars and mannequins.
Despite finishing as runner-up of Wrap Masters Europe, Mr Moldovan was crowned World Wrap Masters Champion. Second and third places went to Norman Brübachj from Germany and Sweden’s Jonas Sjöström.
‘I’m still in shock, I’m speechless, I don’t know what to say,’ Mr Moldovan said after his victory. ‘I wasn’t expecting it. It was a tough and very close competition. To be able to compete against all of these wrappers is awesome. In this competition you have to deliver quality work under stress and it turns out today was a good day for me.’
