Paint Material price Review - 2005 I am pleased to advise you that Audatex has completed the 2005 paint material price review based on information from the industry's nine leading paint brands. The price table adjustment that will be applied to AudaEnterprise, AudaWorkstation and all offline pads will generate an average increase of 4.78%. The above paint material percentage increase is based on the recalculation of a sample of 17,339 random jobs, and reflects the mix of operations in the job and the proportion of wet and dry goods used. This adjustment will take place on 1st February for both online and offline users. This coincides with timing of the majority of the paint manufacturers' increases: Paint Manufacturer Date of Increase Akzo Nobel 24th January 2005 BASF: Glasurit 1st February 2005 BASF: R-M 1st February 2005 DPC: Dupont 17th January 2005 DPC: Standox 1st January 2005 DPC: Spies Hecker 31st January 2005 PPG : Max Meyer 1st February 2005 PPG: Nexa Autocolour 1st February 2005 PPG: PPG 1st February 2005 Should you have any queries regarding this announcement, please log them with our helpdesk which will respond accordingly.
