Cromax, Spies Hecker and Standox, the three global premium refinish brands of Axalta Coating Systems, have been approved for use in all Opel dealers and body shops in Belgium and Luxembourg. Axalta says the technical and commercial approval comes after intensive and thorough tests were conducted by the car manufacturer to ensure all three refinish systems meet Opel’s stringent requirements.

“In addition to the outstanding and individual refinish systems all three brands can provide, what was crucial to us was the added value that Axalta itself brings to the table. Our Opel dealers and body shops in Belgium and Luxembourg can now receive comprehensive technical support and management training, which will certainly be an advantage for us going forward,” said Nikita van Staveren, channel manager accessory and local programs for Opel Belux.

Stefan Van Geert, Axalta’s business development manager for Refinish in Belux, added, “This new agreement strengthens our relationship with Opel. Cromax, Spies Hecker and Standox share common goals of innovation and continuous improvement, while their respective products and services can help to deliver more efficient body shops and ultimately more satisfied vehicle owners.”
