A strong partner
 

At the beginning of December 2009, I took over the sceptre from Julio Salcedas and hence the duties of Brand Manager. I bring to my new job over ten years of experience in management positions in international refinish paint business. Since 2007, I have been Business Manager for the South African region. Before this, in my capacity as Standox Sales Manager, I coordinated activities in the growth markets of Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. From 2002 to 2006 I was in charge of the Standox organization in Austria. From 1999 to 2002, I managed the regional Standox distribution centre in Dubai and coordinated the markets of the Middle East.

Handing over the baton: Zvonimir Simunovic (right) has assumed the position of Brand Manager from Dr. Julio Salcedas.

What are my aims in my new role? First of all, I shall be concerned with continuing my predecessor’s successful work. “Evolution, not revolution” is my motto. Over the last few years, we have consistently expanded our product range. Today we have a forward-looking product line-up that enables refinishers to perform all their tasks quickly, economically and always with immaculate results. But this alone is not enough, for being able to find the right colour quickly and reliably is becoming an increasing factor for success. This is where we help bodyshops to beat a path through the colour jungle with advanced Color Tools.

In the coming years, we want more than ever to focus attention on you, the customer. Refinishing is noted for strong competition with rapidly changing conditions. In this situation, we want to continue to be a strong partner and provide you with precisely the services that you need. An important factor here is tailor-made training for you and your staff.

Standox has always been synonymous with the Art of Refinishing. And this idea of the brand finds outstanding expression in the new Standox Calendar “Color Fantasies of 2010”. Showing cars from different epochs in inspirational colours and imaginative settings, it supplies further proof of German colour competence.

I look forward to a continuation of our constructive cooperation.

Zvonimir Simunovic
