One of the Reef’s founding company’s – Global Auto Coatings – started their drive with the top-rated PPG Envirobase brand back in 2006 and have never looked back in servicing collision repairers. Wayne Nortje says the family operated business still has many of their local Benoni-based clients after all these years. Wayne, who heads up the financial side of the company came with experience gained from the Amlac company, while Preggie Pillay took on the role of sales. Preggie, being fully versed in what body shops always need and having spent years at the end of a telephone and behind the counter at General Abrasives based in City and Suburban, Johannesburg, joined Wayne. Together, they opened up on Bedford Avenue to further establish the company. Global Auto Coatings took to expanding their supply territory to cover the Gauteng market place.
Besides their refinish supply to trade clients, the company offer a type of one-stop shop philosophy for their non-insured repair customers who have bolstered trade sales in downtown Benoni in recent times. They have introduced top class foundation fillers, abrasives and price competitive paints that this area of the market wants. To keep service at top class levels on colour problems or production hassles, Global Auto Coatings also have over six top technical fast response staff for their 350 regular clients on their books.
`’The company also expanded their footprint in the PPG refinish sales camp by the opening of a stand-alone branch in Bloemfontein over a year ago – which is also doing very well,” says Nortje.
