Under the terms of a preferred supplier agreement, Volvo will recommend the use of German-made Standox products and procedures to its importers, dealers and approved body shops for the refinishing of Volvo cars. Before the agreement was signed, Standox products were tested against Volvo refinishing standards, to ensure all Standox products and processes listed under the agreement meet Volvo standards.
In addition, the company has listed Standox as one of the preferred suppliers on its Paint Information for After Sales (PIA) portal. PIA is part of Volvo’s web-based Vehicle Information and Diagnostics Application (VIDA) system.
“By including Standox in the VIDA online information system, it showcases Volvo’s confidence in the quality of our refinishing systems and services,” said Keith Sena, North American brand manager - Standox.
