Plasnomic will open the Plastic Repair Excellence Center in Dallas, Texas, in August, with the facility designed to support live repairs, training, research, recycling and industry collaboration.
Plasnomic, a global initiative focused on standardizing and certifying plastic repair processes in the collision repair industry, announced the centre June 17.
The Dallas facility will serve as the first site in a planned network of Plasnomic Plastic Repair Excellence Centers. The model is intended to bring together collision repairers, insurers, OEMs, suppliers, recyclers, researchers and government stakeholders to advance plastic repair and circular repair practices.
Unlike a traditional training facility, the centre will operate as a live repair, research and innovation environment. It will support real-world repair activity while demonstrating repair methods, tools, materials recovery programs and emerging technologies.
“This is far more than a facility,” said Mario Dimovski, president of Plasnomic. “It is the first physical step toward building the future framework for plastic repair.”
Dimovski said the initiative is focused only on plastic repair.
“We do not focus on smart repair, aluminum repair or unrelated repair categories,” he said. “Our mission is clear. We are focused only on plastic repair, and that is why Plasnomic is positioned as a leading authority, supported by data, technical validation, and repair-based processes.”
The centre is expected to support Plasnomic’s work with multi-shop operators, insurance networks and OEM communication channels. The goal is to create a model that can be tested, refined and scaled.
“Dallas is the starting point for a much larger journey,” Dimovski said. “We are building the foundation for the evolution of plastic repair.”
The announcement comes as plastic components remain among the most frequently replaced and costly parts in modern collision repairs. The centre is intended to support a more specialized plastic repair workforce, backed by repair data, technical validation and repair-first processes.
The Dallas site is also being developed as a zero-waste plastic repair environment. Damaged components, plastic materials, repair waste and non-repairable parts will be identified, separated by material type and directed to recycling or recovery streams.
The centre will combine live repair operations, research and development, recycling initiatives, training programs, sustainability projects and industry collaboration under one roof.
