The HD Repair Forum (HDRF) announced that AkzoNobel has confirmed they will host their spring 20 Group meeting the week of April 9, in conjunction with the HD Repair Forum at the Fort Worth Hilton. The HD Repair conference will take place April 10-11, while the AkzoNobel 20 Group meeting will take place on Thursday, April 12.
Heavy-duty collision repair professionals from across North America will be in Fort Worth getting information on the latest updates on important industry issues and trends, while hearing about the latest technology, services and training opportunities available to the market.
“AkzoNobel is an important company in the heavy-duty repair market, and to have this group host a special meeting during the HD Repair Forum for their constituents is very exciting,” said Brian Nessen, director of the HD Repair Forum. “This decision supports the ongoing plan for industry collaboration and fits with the direction of the HD Repair Forum, to bring the heavy-duty repair industry together for education and networking.” 
Added Bob DuBreuil, senior services consultant, AkzoNobel, “We are looking forward to hosting this special meeting during the HD Repair Conference. Many of our members plan to attend the event anyway, so this is a logical move for our 20 Group.”
Many other industry stakeholders, including truck manufacturers, equipment suppliers, insurance adjusters and heavy-duty repair facility owners, have already marked the premiere HD Repair Forum into their calendars.
