The
Martin Senour
Company has come to the aid of Eastside Technical Center
of Lexington, Kentucky with a waterborne equipment donation
through the
Collision Repair Education
Foundation.
Eastside Technical Center applied for the Collision Repair
Education Foundation’s 2010 Ultimate Collision Education
Makeover $50,000 school grant and noted within their
application the need for waterborne equipment. The donation
includes Martin Senour® VORTEX® mix system, a PROSPECTOR®
color reference tool, and other waterborne equipment
equaling roughly $14,000 for the school. This updated
technology will benefit both current and future collision
students attending Eastside Technical Center.
Eastside Technical Center Collision Repair Instructors Tim
Trusty and Buddy Griffin said, “This donation means quite a
lot to the Collision Repair programs here at Eastside
Technical Center. We would like to thank Martin Senour and
NAPA for their contributions regarding the waterborne paint
system. They brought us everything from a computer/ cabinet,
air line dryer to the mixing bank with the toners to the air
drying movement system.
Ray Stephens, who represents Martin Senour, has been
instrumental in the donation and installation. Ray is
coordinating Martin Senour® product and process training for
us as well as our students in the new waterborne system. Now
we as instructors can teach the most up to date technology
in paint mixing and color matching. This would not have been
possible without this generous donation.”
“For 20 years now the Collision Repair Education Foundation
has been providing philanthropic and educational assistance
to further the collision repair industry. At Martin Senour,
we’re proud to be able to assist them in this important
endeavor,” said Jeff Green, Director of Sales for Martin
Senour. “We’re excited that the students of Eastside
Technical Center will have the opportunity to learn and
train on Martin Senour’s latest waterborne technologies as
they prepare to become the collision repair experts of
tomorrow.”
Collision Repair Education Foundation Executive Director
Scott Kruger said, “We would like to thank The Martin Senour
Company for being able to come to the aid of Eastside
Technical Center through this equipment donation which is
providing their school and students with current technology.
It is through donations such as this that the industry will
be able to upgrade its educational opportunities and enhance
its own future by allowing future professionals of the
industry to learn with current tools, equipment, and
technology. Through Eastside Technical Center completing the
Makeover application, the Foundation was able to identify a
need for additional assistance and through the support of
Martin Senour, this donation was made possible.”
