When the hospital in Matt Rieger’s rural Kansas county faced an N95 mask shortage at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Rieger was quick to lend a helping hand. He worked with the hospital to decontaminate N95 masks, curing them in a Performer XD Paint Booth from GFS at his automotive body shop.
GFS is excited to announce that Platinum Equipment has joined our automotive and truck refinish distribution team, bolstering GFS’ ability to provide extraordinary service to body shops in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota and western Wisconsin.
When Duncan Aviation needed an aircraft paint booth for a new MRO facility in Provo, Utah, Chad Doehring was faced with an easy decision. He had seen GFS Aircraft Paint Booths in action already, and was well aware of their efficiency and the high-quality finishes they consistently produce.
Two years ago, Eric Gutknecht took the plunge and opened his own body shop, Eric’s Auto Body. Lacking the top-of-the-line equipment needed to make a dent in his competition, Eric invested in new GFS equipment to set his shop up for success.
New finishing equipment from GFS was so efficient, it alleviated Sleepy Hollow Auto Group’s bottlenecks and propelled the Wisconsin shop on the fast track to prosperity.
On large jobs or jobs with multiple equipment installs, it is essential to invest in finishing equipment from a manufacturer with project management capabilities. Businesses with dedicated project managers can invest more time in project planning; conduct more frequent project reviews to assess risks, milestones and value; and measure project outcomes more frequently.
