The Database Enhancement Gateway (DEG) announced that DuPont has become a platinum sponsor and the first paint supplier to sponsor the DEG. Platinum sponsorship of the DEG requires a donation of at least $4,000 a year.
“We were encouraged by Joe Mattos, on behalf of our Champion Jobber Network, to take a leadership role in financially supporting this initiative that was bringing real-world tangible value to our customer base,” said Bruce Cooley, DuPont’s business development and industry relations manager. “We believe the DEG is a great step forward in enhancing database accuracy and providing easy communication between our customers and the information providers in a professional manner that supports the integrity of the collision repair industry.”
DEG Joint Operating Committee member Carroll Proctor said support from companies like DuPont allows DEG to continue to provide its service to users free of charge.
“Support from all of the DEG’s sponsors sends a clear message to the industry about who is here to support efforts that help our businesses in meaningful ways beyond just their primary product offering,” Proctor added.
