The EDM class is one element of a comprehensive curriculum PPG has created to support its independent paint, body and equipment distributors.

“We spend a lot of time and effort on distributor training at PPG Automotive Refinish; it’s a critical component of our offerings,” said Bob Wenzinger, PPG distributor program director. “We want every one of our distributors to have healthy, successful businesses. Obviously that means providing them with great PPG products to sell – and we do that, but it also means giving them industry-leading training so they can outpace the competition and build and operate a thriving business.”

The “student” enrollment of the distributor training program includes distributorship owners, managers, sales staff and the other key personnel involved in running a business.

Courses are conducted by PPG Automotive Refinish leadership and leading consultants in the automotive refinish industry and cover a variety of topics for the paint body and equipment distributor including finance, marketing, operations, selling skills, counter person development, commercial product business development and more.

In 2013, PPG will offer more than 30 distributor-specific courses throughout the United States and Canada. A complete 2013 schedule is available at www.ppgrefinish.com or through PPG territory managers.
