Jetstream Aviation’s paint shop in Kinston, North Carolina, became operational in 2021, with a GFS Aircraft Paint Booth that measures 95 feet wide, 30 feet high and 104 feet deep. An airflow rate of 210,000 CFM, coupled with an air-cooled chiller and heated Air Make-Up Units (AMUs), give Jetstream the ability to complete basic repairs to the most complex ones, in the least amount of time possible.
Running a solo operation, Derry Peterson needed reliable, efficient equipment that he could trust for his restoration shop that specializes in hot rods. GFS met his expectations, as Legenderry Auto Body opened in 2021 with an Ultra XS Paint Booth and attached Ultra XS Paint Mix Room.
Beacon Equipment Resources has expanded its territory to now serve GFS customers in the Southwest, positioned to meet their unique needs with pre-engineered and custom solutions. Beacon Equipment is GFS’ preferred automotive and truck refinish distributor in New Mexico and also provides service in Arizona.
With a 40-year-old paint booth, J&M Collision Center was long overdue for an upgrade. Jim Bilz needed a new booth that would prevent bottlenecks and alleviate his body shop’s big backlog. His problems were solved in 2021 with the addition of an Ultra XD Paint Booth from GFS.
When it comes to technology, Chuck Kreuzer likes being ahead of his competition. Upgrading to an Ultra XR Paint Booth integrated with REVO Speed from GFS, along with four REVO Spot units, has given Chuck’s Collision Shop fewer production bottlenecks, improved efficiency and increased energy savings.
GFS has received the Corporate Safety Award from the Wisconsin Safety Council, the state’s leading provider of safety training and products. Receiving this award — in a category of mid-size manufacturing companies — places GFS in an elite group of less than 200 Wisconsin companies that have won it in the 27 years this award has been presented.
