Akzo Nobel & Holmes Body Shop Group complete first California waterborne multi-shop conversion
 
 
(October 24, 2007 - Pasadena, CA..) - The first California multi-shop operation conversion to waterborne is now complete. Holmes Body Shop Group in southern California recently finished making the transition to Sikkens Autowave in all eight of its locations. The company began with its Riverside location a year ago, then made the decision to convert the other sites ahead of schedule as well.
 
All California body shops are required to implement waterborne paint technology by the end of 2009. Holmes Auto Body Group is now ahead of the game. “Really, we converted early for two reasons,” said Steve Morris, Chief Operating Officer for Holmes Body Shop Group. “If we waited until closer to the deadline, we knew there would be a big rush and were worried about availability of manpower and equipment. Also, this product is so much better for the environment, for the air we breathe. We care about that, it’s important to us as a company.” click here for full article
