Located at the headquarters of Global Finishing Solutions (GFS) in Osseo, Wisconsin, the Center for Excellence is an innovative facility featuring an automotive refinish training center, as well as a separate space dedicated to technical product training.
GFS’ automotive refinish training center features a body shop environment fully equipped with paint booths, prep areas, paint mix rooms, REVO Accelerated Curing Systems and other body shop equipment. This facility is an excellent resource for bringing potential customers to showcase GFS’ products and capabilities. The welcome center and classroom setting provide an inviting environment for meeting and interacting with customers.
Part of our ongoing commitment to support our distributor and technician partners in servicing GFS equipment, GFS TECH is an educational program designed to ensure our customers receive an exceptional experience from start to startup. Housed at the Center for Excellence with fully operational finishing equipment — including GFS paint booths, a powder coating booth, batch process oven and three air make-up units (AMUs) — GFS TECH provides a hands-on learning environment for technicians.

GFS Center for Excellence
“It’s always a pleasure to be able to show how our products align with GFS’ state-of-the-art tools and equipment. That brings great value to our customers. GFS’ automotive refinish training center portrays a very clean and professional environment, and that is the same message that PPG wants to portray.”
“We discovered REVO Accelerated Curing Systems from GFS, and it was exactly what we wanted. I talked with my GFS distributor, then visited the Center for Excellence to see REVO Systems in person. I was sold right away.”
“We place a large focus on training and our relationships with industry partners, such as paint manufacturers. With GFS doing the same, this is a great location for product testing, training and industry relations. Our headquarters is just a short drive away in southeastern Minnesota. Having access to the Center for Excellence, a state-of-the-art facility with the latest in both equipment and paint technology, that is invaluable.”
“I cannot thank everyone at GFS enough for your generosity and expertise. It was great to see how the equipment works in person and see how beneficial it could be. I was blown away at the entire facility after our tour, and the Center for Excellence is an incredible place for training and demonstrations. GFS went above and beyond in showing me the ins and outs of each infrared curing lamp, very specific situations and tricks of the trade. We received the demo units, and we are all excited putting them to use. I look forward to working with GFS in the future.”
