SOUTHFIELD, MI In response to industry concerns regarding California’s upcoming regulation and environmental changes, BASF Automotive Refinish will host an invitation-only event in March. The event will focus on educating collision shops on the new regulations, informing them about the issues surrounding waterborne and low VOC products and providing them solutions from BASF.
Chuck Sulkala, National Auto Body Council executive director, will moderate an interactive panel of industry experts, addressing the concerns of California bodyshops. The seven-member panel will include representatives from the South Coast Air Quality Management District, collision repairers, BASF specialists and the insurance industry.
On a lighter note, the evening will conclude with a performance by comedian and ‘car nut’ Christopher Titus, best know for his FOX sitcom, “Titus,” and ‘The 5th Annual End of the World Tour’ for Comedy Central.
“BASF Automotive Refinish is committed to the California market,” said Darlene Eilenberger, BASF marketing director, NAFTA. “So we are pleased to be able to host a discussion panel that showcases this commitment and as well as our vision of helping make our customers more successful and more productive, no matter what challenges they face."
