Yury has been working in vehicle wrapping since 2009 and originally started his career in Moscow, working with various companies across different industries. In 2012 he worked for “Re-Styling” where he was known as the “1st Level Master” and was responsible for training staff and opening new branches in Russia. In 2014 Yury moved to Krasnodar city and opened his own wrapping studio, Vinyl-Jam.

As the winner of this year’s World Wrap Masters Asia, Yury describes that “my main aim for this trip was to win as it is a prestigious competition. I did my very best to convince the judges that I am the best and it seemed to pay-off!”
The World Wrap Masters was created to not only showcase the skill of vehicle wrappers but to also recognise and promote the global vehicle wrapping community at their best. Yury says “as professionals working in the vehicle wrapping industry, the World Wrap Masters Series is a very important event because we get an opportunity to share our experience and skills with others. It means a lot to communicate and interact with like-minded individuals from all over the world.”

As a finalist Yury says “I am very excited about my trip to the World Wrap Masters Series Final, in my opinion competitors from Europe are professional and experienced with vinyl wrapping as I know it is very popular there. I hope that the ‘Russian Machine’ will perform well in Germany!”
