Spanesi Americas Expands Spray Booth And Facility Design Team

Spanesi Americas says it is expanding again to better serve its customers and the collision industry.

The company has welcomed Ron Coan to the Spanesi Americas team in the role of spray products specialist. Coan comes to Spanesi with more than 35 years of experience, spent mostly inside of spray booths. His expertise in the automotive coatings industry has provided him multiple opportunities to paint concept vehicles (including the Cadillac 16), one-of-a-kind prototype vehicles (such as the Bizzarini 5300 SI Spyder), Ford SEMA cars, Jeff Gordon’s Axalta paint scheme race cars for Hendrick’s Motorsports and even historical vehicles including the Bi-Autogo.

Coan also has been a cast member for two nationally distributed television programs featuring vehicle builds and “one-off” vehicle restorations featured in the “Car Capital of the World” in Detroit.

“I understand the importance and the value that a great spray booth can provide to a repair facility. Spanesi creates high-quality, high-performance spray booths that produce amazing results,” said Coan. “I’m ready to use of the knowledge that I have accumulated throughout my career and work for a company that goes out of their way to help customers and painters. Spanesi is a great company with extremely knowledgeable people. I’m proud to be joining a team like that.”

Timothy Morgan, chief operating officer and managing director of Spanesi Americas, said, “Ron’s experience on the paint side of the automotive industry is second-to-none. Ron’s had a distinguished and notable career with over 35 years in the industry. Adding Ron and his experience to the world-class team at Spanesi Americas is priceless. We are excited to add Ron to the shop design, production efficiency, and facility operations teams to bring more and more value to our distinguished customers.”

Spanesi Americas continues to grow within the North America market, the company says. 2018 is expected to be another high-growth year for the organization. Coan’s addition to the team reinforces Spanesi Americas commitment to unparalleled customer service and support in 2018 and beyond.
