Abrasives, Solar Gard collaborate in automotive show

Abrasives, Solar Gard collaborate in automotive showTwo of Saint-Gobain’s aftermarket automotive businesses came together to exhibit at this year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Touting “Where Experience Meets Performance,” Solar Gard and Saint-Gobain Abrasives jointly presented a full portfolio of automotive restyling and refinishing products.  Solar Gard highlighted Clearshield® Pro, its best-in-class paint protection film, while Saint-Gobain Abrasives leveraged the SEMA Show as the perfect venue to launch its new Refinish Solutions Group (RSG) umbrella brand in North America.

“The launch of RSG is such an exciting milestone for Saint-Gobain Abrasives. By aligning and bringing together the very best in alliance partner organizations who are offering today’s top products on the market--including Mothers, IPG, DeVilbiss, Dynabrade, and Solar Gard--we are truly setting ourselves apart for our customers,” says Ron Cuccia, North American Sales Manager, Saint-Gobain Abrasives.

Show attendees were able to participate in hands-on demos of both Solar Gard Clearshield Pro paint protection film and the complete lineup of Solar Gard automotive window film, as well as learn more about the full range of refinishing solutions available from RSG alliance partners.

Says Solar Gard President Stéphane Nicoli, “I can’t think of another company doing business today, that can say it was also in operation in 1665. Showcasing the power of Saint-Gobain--especially alongside our Abrasives colleagues at this year’s event--is such an impactful and important message to communicate to our distribution partners around the world. They really take pride in being connected with such an established organization.”
