Milestone reinforces company’s commitment to helping customers drive their productivity
13 AUGUST 2024 – Axalta (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global coatings company, announced the installation of its 100th Axalta Irus Mix, a fast and efficient fully automated and completely hands-free mixing machine for the automotive refinish industry. The installation took place in France at Bodyshop Carenove, who has used Standox, one of Axalta’s premium automotive refinish brands, for more than 20 years.
