Axalta opened a new South African central office in Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa, dedicated to automotive refinish coatings technology.
“This… marks a huge milestone not only for us and our employees but also, and most importantly, for our valued customers, who will benefit from the expanding customer service support and infrastructure,” said Hannes Kloppers, country business leader for Axalta in South Africa.
The office and the theory training room with multimedia facilities are already operational. The practical training area, which will include spray booths and a mixing room, will be ready for delegate intake from mid-2019. Once completed, the facility will offer refinishers the opportunity to receive quality, professional training and to learn invaluable skills that they can take back to their body shops.
“The facility is designed to be a state-of-the-art learning and training environment, complete with practical equipment for hands-on training as well as the experts to impart the theory behind it,” said Lucian Jantjies, national sales leader for Axalta Refinish in South Africa. “It is an open, collaborative and creative working environment for customers and employees alike.”
Axalta has satellite refinish offices in Cape Town, KwaZulu Natal and Port Elizabeth.
Axalta will host an opening ceremony once the full training facilities are operational. A series of refinish training programs for Spies Hecker, Standox and Duxone will be offered to those who want to improve their skills and learn about the latest technology and applications.
