Spies Hecker - one of the premium refinish paint brands of Axalta, a leading global supplier of liquid and powder coatings – was named Paint Brand of the Year in the Repairer’s Choice awards at the ABP Club Night of Knights awards ceremony. The ceremony, now in its twelfth year, took place at the Vox Conference Centre in Birmingham, England, on 12 November 2019.

Spies Hecker beat strong competition from four other well-established paint repair brands to take the 2019 Paint Brand of the Year title. This year, 838 bodyshops voted in the Repairers’ Choice Awards, providing 21,900 ratings on more than 160 suppliers and work providers.

It means so much to win based on votes by our products’ users. I would also like to thank our industry partners who work hard to deliver Spies Hecker’s comprehensive solutions across the UK and Ireland.”

Axalta’s National Sales Manager for the UK and Ireland, Mark Andrews, was at the event to receive the award.
