After twelve years, a paint manufacturer from the field of automobile repair paint is returning to Automechanika: Cromax®, which used to be one of many products made by DuPont Refinish, will make its tradefair debut as a new brand in Frankfurt from 16 to 20 September. Cromax® belongs to the newly founded, independent company, Axalta Coating Systems. The company has over 140 years’ experience in the paint sector and supplies more than 120,000 customers in 130 countries.
Cromax Marketing Manager Hartmut Krause is a proponent of trade fairs as marketing tools: “We had no difficulty in choosing the fair as our marking tool, especially for the Cromax® launch. We believe in the international Automechanika brand. For us, it is an ideal opportunity to show existing and potential customers that, although the Cromax® brand is new, we remain the experts with regard to workshop productivity and are suppliers of more than just paint. Naturally, this will also be one of the key themes at our exhibition stand. Moreover, Cromax® will not only make a presentation in Frankfurt but also at Automechanika Dubai from 3 to 5 June.â€
The Automechanika shows in Dubai and Frankfurt are on track for a full success. Both shows are 90 percent booked.
