For the seventh consecutive year, BASF Automotive Refinish is a Masters + OEM Level Sponsor of the Repairer Driven Education (RDE) Series at the Specialty Equipment Market Association  (SEMA) conference.

“BASF has always placed a clear emphasis on the role education plays in elevating our industry,” said Aaron Schulenburg, Executive Director of the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS), which hosts the conference. “When RDE was launched in 2010, BASF was the first company to commit their support. We couldn’t be more pleased to have their involvement year after year.”

The Masters + OEM Summit Level Sponsor of the RDE series includes sponsorship of each of the nearly 30 RDE classes during SEMA and the OEM Summit on Thursday, November 3, in Las Vegas.

BASF Strategic Initiatives, Business Solutions Leader, Tom Hoerner will lead the RDE class  Scheduling and Workflow Solutions on Friday, November 4. The class focuses on the scheduling process and how balancing vehicle intake affects work in process, cycle time and touch time.

BASF also will have a display at the SEMA expo in Central Hall, Racing & Performance, booth #20367.
