•Global cooperation agreement formalizes the existing collaboration between Surventis and NST
•Joint testing and real-world customer applications demonstrate Surventis’ readiness to support robotic paint processes today
•Collaboration creates a framework for further technical development and customer projects
Surventis and NST have signed a strategic cooperation agreement to support the development of automated painting applications in the automotive refinish industry. The agreement formalizes a collaboration that has already been established through joint testing, technical exchange and customer projects.
Building on proven collaboration
Over the past months, Surventis and NST have worked together to evaluate the application of Surventis coating systems on NST robotic platforms. Joint testing confirmed the compatibility of both solutions and helped optimize key application parameters for reliable and repeatable results.
The cooperation is already reflected in customer projects. Several body shops, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, are using Surventis coating materials together with NST robotic systems in daily operations.
These projects provide practical experience and support the continued development of automated painting processes.
Supporting automated refinish processes
The collaboration combines Surventis' expertise in coating technologies and application processes with NST's experience in robotic painting systems and automation. Together, both companies aim to support body shops in improving efficiency, consistency and process quality through automated painting solutions.
“Through joint testing and customer applications with NST, we have demonstrated that Surventis coating systems can be successfully integrated into automated paint processes. These activities have provided valuable insights into optimizing application performance and supporting consistent, high-quality results. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and helping customers advance their automation initiatives”, said Chen Liu, Vice President Global Technology Refinish Coatings at Surventis.
"Our collaboration with Surventis is built on a shared belief that the future of automotive refinishing lies in the combination of advanced coating technology and intelligent automation. By bringing together Surventis’ process expertise and coating innovations with NST’s robotics and intelligent control technologies, we can help body shops improve efficiency, consistency and quality while accelerating the adoption of next-generation painting solutions. This agreement provides a strong foundation for continued innovation and customer-focused development in the automotive refinish industry," said Ke Dong Bi, Chairman of the Board at NST.
The agreement provides a framework for further testing, technical validation and future development activities. It also allows Surventis and NST to continue contributing their respective expertise within a broader industry ecosystem.
