Axalta Coating Systems has expanded its customer training facilities for refinish technicians in Japan. The recently re-opened facility, located in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture, is designed to provide additional resources to help body shop refinish craftsmen use Axalta’s waterborne coatings productively. In Japan, Axalta sells both its Cromax Pro and Standoblue lines of refinish coating systems.
“Our decision to expand our Utsunomiya training facility reflects the growing interest in our waterborne coatings,” explained Nobuya Hayashi, managing director of Axalta’s operations in Japan. “Our commitment to customers continues beyond the sale of our products. It’s our job to continue to support them every day with great service and to help them continually improve their technical skills by working side by side with Axalta’s experts at refinish training centers like Utsunomiya.”
Axalta’s Cromax Pro and Standoblue lines of refinish coatings were introduced to body shops in Japan in 2010 and 2013, respectively, and each has been gaining new users every year. The design of the center accords with Axalta’s global training censtandards which strive to provide refinish technicians with the skills they need to provide beautiful finishes whenever Axalta products are applied.
