DuPont has received the “2007 Supplier of the Year” award from AutoNation, which operates 323 new vehicle franchises at 245 dealership locations in 16 states. DuPont, which also received the award in 2003, is the only supplier ever to be recognized twice by Florida-based AutoNation.
“We are especially honored to receive this award for the second time because we were in competition with all of AutoNation’s other excellent suppliers,” said John G. McCool, vice president and general manager of DuPont Refinish Systems. “We understand that parts and service, including collision repair, is a major component of an auto dealership’s revenue, so we are delighted that DuPont coatings and DuPont color science are contributing to AutoNation’s success.”
