GLEN MILLS, Pa., Dec. 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Axalta (NYSE: AXTA)
is sponsoring the 2018 Rush Enterprises Tech Skills Rodeo at the
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas from December 10 to 12. The event brings together Rush
Truck Centers' technicians from across the United States to compete in a painting
skills competition using Axalta's Imron® Elite
polyurethane products.
"To earn a spot at the Rodeo, technicians must demonstrate an
aptitude of standard paint repair procedures through written tests
and now we get to see that knowledge applied in person," said
Troy Weaver, Vice President of
Axalta North America Refinish. "Their ability to apply a
professional finish is not only key to winning here, it will help
ensure the highest quality repair is performed during their normal
work day back in Rush Truck Centers' dealerships."
Axalta coatings experts will select division winners and a grand
champion based on a critical evaluation of the technicians'
knowledge from the written test assessments as well as their
performances during the technical painting session. The competition
closes with an awards dinner where winners are announced.
