Standox and Volvo Car Corporation cooperate globally

PRLog (Press Release) - May 22, 2009 -
Volvo Car Corporation and Standox have agreed to cooperate around the world. Under the agreement, Volvo will recommend its importers, dealers and approved bodyshops use German-made Standox products and procedures for refinishing Volvo cars. In addition, the company has listed Standox as one of the preferred suppliers on its PIA portal. PIA (Paint Information for Aftersales) is part of Volvo’s web-based VIDA (Vehicle Information and Diagnostics Application) system and provides Volvo bodyshops around the globe with information for the finest repairs.

When it comes to repairing paint damage on Volvo cars, the company insists on the highest quality standards, state-of-the-art technology and high levels of professional expertise. Standox products were tested against Volvo refinishing standards before the agreement was signed. All Standox products and processes listed under the agreement meet Volvo standards.

A simple mouseclick takes authorised refinishers from the PIA homepage directly to the Standox offers. Another link takes them to the Standox homepage (http://www.standox.com), where Standox’ services are displayed click by click.

“By including Standox in the VIDA online information system, Volvo has paid tribute to the high quality of our refinishing systems and services”, explains Standox brand manager Dr. Julio Salcedas. “This fills us with pride and is an incentive for the further  developments of forward-looking technology and products which comply with the requirements of today’s automotive refinishing.” The two companies look back on several decades of cooperation and have long relied on customised training activities as a key factor in their shared success.
