On August 22, 2023, the official launch of the Classic Car Colors Network Switzerland initiated by Glasurit took place in Safenwil. The first network partners are mainly from German-speaking Switzerland: Autospritzwerk Müller, Wetzikon (Zurich), Carrosserie Muster + Müller AG, Oberbuchsiten (Solothurn), Carrosserie Spritzwerk Walter Fierz, Zurich (Zürich), Emil Frey Classics, Safenwil (Aargau), FMT - Fahrwerk und Motorentechnik, Rapperswil-Jona (St Gallen), Illusorius Art, Adlikon (Zurich) and Lackierbar Imlig GmbH, Brunnen (Schwyz).
Glasurit is a traditional brand in the paint business and (including predecessor companies) has been in the paint business since 1888.
The first presentation on paint systems for classic cars was made as early as 1992, followed by the introduction of Glasurit Classic Car Colors in 2007. The company is involved in many committees (e.g. FIVA) in this field and also exhibits at trade fairs and exhibitions.
In 2022, the "Classic Business" and "Classic Technology" seminars were established to enable paint shops and body shops to deal even more professionally with the specific characteristics of the classic car environment. Compared to the new and used car repair business, the painting of classic cars has some significantly different characteristics: end customer contact is much more important and there are also many special technical aspects to consider.
Glasurit not only wants to help the Classic Car Colors network to present itself professionally and deliver quality, the network should also be actively marketed.
At the kick-off of the Classic Car Colors Network Switzerland, the participants were brought up to date by specialist Jürgen Book and were able to exchange ideas with each other. It was clear that a visit to the special "Colors" show was also on the agenda.
