Industry invited to join Global Plastic Repair Alliance
Plasnomic is inviting repairers, trainers, manufacturers and technicians to join the Global Plastic Repair Alliance.
Established earlier this year, Plasnomic is a global initiative dedicated to standardising and certifying plastic repair processes in the collision industry.
By uniting the industry’s top talent, technology and resources, it aims to set a new global benchmark for safety, quality, cost-efficiency and sustainability in plastic repair.
It formed the Global Plastic Repair Alliance Council in May to develop and validate best-practice methods via a network of global specialists, partners, industry advisors and testing labs.
Global standard
The Council will also evaluate and approve tools, materials and equipment through a transparent, industry-driven process, showcase innovative and proven repair solutions to a worldwide audience via its network of council members, partners and collaborators, and represent and promote plastic repair brands, products and professionals globally through a centralised, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven digital support and certification platform.
Plasnomic CEO Brian Driehorst said: “We encourage the industry to sign up or nominate your preferred plastic repair provider in this industry-first initiative to globalise and unify plastic repair processes.
“It’s an excellent opportunity to join some of the leading providers already involved, including US-based Polyvance, 4Plastic and SEM, as well as global leaders, such as 3M and Mirka.
“This is the first opportunity for the collision repair industry to unite on a single, transparent platform, bringing global visibility to validated plastic repair solutions and approved products. It will also help create the industry’s first OEM-compatible best practices and certified partner alliance.”
Driehorst added: “With plastic parts now the most repaired and replaced parts on vehicles, the Alliance will drive repair excellence from the ground up. These parts are among the most common sources of warranty failure due to improper methods and materials.”
