PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – JULY 19 2024 – Axalta (NYSE: AXTA), a leading global coatings company, today announced the installation of its 100^th Axalta Irus Mix, a fast and efficient fully automated and completely hands-free mixing machine for the automotive refinish industry. The installation took place in France at Bodyshop Carenove, who has used Standox, one of Axalta’s premium automotive refinish brands, for more than 20 years.
