The 2nd International Repanet Conference took place under the motto of “Come together! Think global, act local!” in Sardinia in May. The conference attended by 500 people from 12 countries was a resounding success. Two high-quality guest speakers provided valuable input on the subject of accident claims management. Those attending also benefited from the presentation of the Repanet marketing offensive and from examples of best practices from different countries. The event also included a variety of training workshops, an exhibition for workshop accessories and an accompanying entertainment programme.

Car makers delighted by Standox quality
 No other paint manufacturer has obtained as many international approvals for its products as Standox. And in the last few months, further approvals have been received from leading vehicle engineering companies. Volvo, the Swedish manufacturer, has awarded Standox a worldwide approval for its products. The Wuppertal company has thus also been given the chance to present its product offering within the Volvo online information system VIDA. The Japanese car and motorcycle maker Honda is also obtaining high-grade and cost-effective paint systems from Wuppertal. Honda Middle East has granted Standox an approval for the entire Middle East and North Africa. Nissan Middle East has also opted for Standox. Cooperation in the region comprises not only product support, but also training.
