Spanesi Americas Inc., a leading provider of light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicle collision repair equipment, has announced the addition of Bret Runyon to the role of sales and training Specialist. 

Runyon, a graduate from Southwestern Community College with an associate’s degree in Automotive Collision Repair and Refinish, has more than 30 years of collision repair facility experience. Runyon worked his way up from entry-level positions to become a manager at a regional multi-location operator’s I-CAR Gold Class facility with several OEM repair center certifications. 

“Repairing customer vehicles to OEM specifications has been a clearly defined goal in my career within the [collision repair] industry,” said Runyon. “In my last facility, we were fortunate to have purchased Spanesi equipment. The quality of the equipment, training and support provided by Tim Morgan and his team inspired me to join the organization. I am excited to become a member of the Spanesi Americas family and support collision repair facilities across North America.”   

“Bret is a valuable addition to our sales and training teams,” stated Timothy Morgan, chief operating officer of Spanesi Americas Inc. “Our focus at Spanesi is the customer experience and post-sale support. Bret understands the challenges collision repairers face every day in their shops and brings real-world shop experience to customer interactions. His role will be to provide pre-sales and post-sales technical support to our customers and Spanesi Authorized Distributors.”
