AXALTA’S NEW REFINISH CENTRE IN THE NETHERLANDS

 Axalta has officially opened its new, state-of-the-art, sustainable facility in the Netherlands to further strengthen its Dutch refinish business. The ultra-modern, strategically located facility in the Tiel municipality enables Axalta to provide more customers with its industry-leading refinish paint and non-paint products and services. The Axalta global refinish brands in the Netherlands – Cromax, Spies Hecker, Standox and Syrox – all relocated to the new facility in May 2021, which is located at Tiel’s Business Park Medel, where green management, sustainability, security, and infrastructure are the top priorities.

“This is an exciting time for our refinish business in Europe and specifically, the Netherlands. Our new facility in Tiel is all electric and exceeds local sustainability requirements. It makes us an excellent, future-ready partner to our customers as we work together toward a greener future,” said Jim Muse, Vice President of Axalta Refinish in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The facility includes the new Dutch Axalta Refinish Academy, which is an innovative body shop environment for training refinishers of the future to deliver the highest-quality paint repairs. It is equipped with cutting-edge technology and delivers advanced techniques such as next generation drying tools, including an infrared drying rail system. It also boasts the recently launched Daisy Wheel 3.0, which enables fully end-to-end automated colour mixing for the first time and works seamlessly with Axalta’s Digital Colour Management.

“Our state-of-the-art academy is a well-equipped welcoming space that gives Axalta refinishers the opportunity to learn about the fastest and most productive paint processes available anywhere in the world. The new facility is a triumph in terms of innovation and technical capabilities,” explained Muse. “We are committed to helping our customers become more productive with high-quality coating products, as well as providing training and consultancy on key business topics such as efficient body shop processes for improved profitability.”

Classic COrner & REStoration

Classic cars are the next big investment. As such the sector of restoration is growing in the realms of collision repair and it’s definitely the “sexier” side of the business. There are many opportunities to create exotic special-builds as well as keep timeless beauties in mint condition.

DRIVEN

With three motoring-journalists on our staff, we are able to test drive and review some of the latest models available on our roads as well as attend the latest model launches.

TRAINING

Knowledge is power. Training is key to up-skilling repairers as models launch onto our local roads faster than we can count. We also need to grow new talent into the collision repair industry. Courses are available to help and organisations are in place to train - this information is in Industry Index.
