Focus on Dürr products in the automotive sector.

Highest performance and availability are key requirements for automated paint application and robot technology in the car manufacturing industry. To assure the long-term quality in service, the Dürr company Verind has now acquired 100% of GT Assistência. This Brazil based company provides in future a wide range of services for Verind customers in South America.

GT Assistência was established in 2009 with the objective of providing a service exclusively dedicated to the automotive sector. Up to now the company has operated independently on the market and has already been the preferred business partner of Verind. With the acquisition the focus will lay on Verind customers in South-America, which are mainly FCA automotive factories.

"Our targets are to improve production efficiency, to guarantee a quick response to customer needs as well as to provide preventive maintenance, to avoid failure and production losses and to reduce costs at the customer sites", explains Dr. Hans Schumacher, President & CEO of Dürr's Application Technology division. Through this corporate takeover "we will be in condition to strengthen our service activities".

The highly skilled technicians of GT Assistência have many years of experience in painting and robot machinery. The tasks at the customers' sites will be installations, robot teaching, commissioning, technical assistance, maintenance, spare parts control and all the others activities related to automated paint application.
