Las Vegas, Nevada — November 7, 2017 — More than 70,000 industry stakeholders visited the SEMA Show in Las Vegas last week, but as always the collision repair sector was the heart of the show.
Colleagues and friends from across the sector were able to meet up and display the latest in technology, products and services, learning how these innovations can help them run a successful business. Events across the week also allowed detailed discussions on how collision repair is changing and how shops will need to adapt to stay at the forefront of the industry.
Of particular note was the annual Canada Night, hosted by AIA Canada. The event offered Canadians across the collision repair industry the opportunity to network with industry peers, as well as catch up with old friends.
Meanwhile, awards such as the Best New Product Awards banquet, highlighted just some of the companies making waves in the collision repair sector.
Don Morton, of Don-Mor CARSTAR in London, Ontario, told Collision Repair magazine: “I checked out a lot of new products. We’re well up-to-speed, but we still managed to find some new and updated tools. It’s also a great chance to talk to different suppliers and get their take on the new stuff coming out.”
Over the course of the show, Collision Repair magazine caught up with some key figures which are making waves across the industry. We have compiled a list of our favourite photos below.
