Axalta’s commitment to WorldSkills Australia as a Gold Partner will
support both the Regional and National Competitions through the supply
of Axalta’s Standoblue® refinish products, the latest in
waterborne coating technology, and the new generation of Sagola®
spray guns, for which Axalta is the sole importer in Australia.
“At Axalta, we are passionate about the refinish industry, and we are
driven by the desire to secure its future through the promotion of both
sustainable practices and skills development in young professionals,”
said Paul Polverino, National Training Manager of Axalta Australia.
“This is very important to us, as there are fewer young people entering
the refinish industry than ever before – and we are committed to
supporting events and initiatives that promote the industry’s
productivity and capabilities.”
For more than 10 years, in collaboration with WorldSkills Australia,
Axalta has strived to mentor up and coming talent by offering resources
such as product training, exposure to the latest work practices and
sustainable techniques, problem solving strategies, teamwork
development, and leadership skills.
WorldSkills Australia regional competitions are held across Australia,
with each event designed to help participants improve skills, build
confidence, and benefit from exposure to the latest technology and
techniques. Those interested in attending this year’s WorldSkills
