Glasurit, BASF Coatings’ automotive refinishing product brand, is a rare breed. There is little competition when it comes to the number of approvals granted by carmakers. As Joachim Strassner, Glasurit Distribution Manager in Germany, shared with journalists in Ludwigshafen, Glasurit has been granted approvals by 37 carmakers alone. For bodyshops, working with coatings products and systems approved by carmakers is a crucial factor for success. An approval guarantees customers that their vehicles will undergo top-quality refinishing, not unlike a repair with original parts. These days, brand-linked bodyshops are gaining in significance, making top-of-the-line refinishing an important competitive edge.
From comprehensive tests to global approval
A car manufacturer does not grant technical approval until it has carried out intensive tests and thoroughly checked whether the quality of Glasurit automotive refinish products meets the stringent requirements of automotive OEM coating. The technical approval is then laid down in a contract and is valid for a region or for the entire international market. Detailed agreements on aspects such as delivery, training, or services are signed at the national level. Each carmaker’s approval thus documents that Glasurit’s innovative product systems, color management, and comprehensive shop support make it the ideal partner for any car dealer and any bodyshop.
Glasurit products and product systems have been approved by Porsche, Isuzu, Skoda, Audi, Land Rover, Daihatsu, Alfa Romeo, Lexus, Mazda, Smart, Opel, Kia, BMW, Mini, Vauxhall, Bentley, Daewoo/Chevrolet, Chevrolet, Seat, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Jeep, Dodge, Volkswagen, Lancia, Mitsubishi, Maybach, Volvo, Toyota, Hyundai, Ford, Chrysler, Nissan, Jaguar, Rolls-Royce, Fiat and Honda.
