DuPont Performance Coatings is enhancing its training capabilities with the construction of a new, state-of-the-art training centre in Pointe Claire, Quebec. "The new centre will help fill a real need for our customers in eastern Canada and the United States," said Jennifer Doyle, National Training Manager. "We have an ongoing commitment to help our customers and distributors become more successful in their business and technical operations, and the training centre will play a key role in helping us meet that commitment," added Brian Edwards, Refinish Business Manager.

The ultra-modern centre is scheduled to open later in 2006 with 12,000 square-feet of production area and 6,000 square-feet of office area. The facility will serve customers located in eastern Ontario, Quebec, the Atlantic provinces and northeastern United States, and will support a range of segments including collision repair, aviation, industrial coatings, commercial fleet, and OEM heavy-duty truck and bus.
