Surventis and NST strengthen strategic collaboration to advance automated painting solutions

• A global cooperation agreement strengthens the established partnership between Surventis and NST.

• Joint testing and real-world customer applications confirm Surventis’ readiness for robotic painting processes.

• The partnership establishes a foundation for continued technical development and future customer projects.

Surventis and NST have entered into a strategic cooperation agreement to advance automated painting applications in the automotive refinish industry. The partnership builds on their existing collaboration in joint testing, technical knowledge exchange, and customer projects.

Building on an Established Partnership

Over recent months, Surventis and NST have jointly evaluated Surventis coating systems on NST robotic platforms. Testing demonstrated the compatibility of both technologies and enabled the optimisation of critical application parameters, which ensured consistent and reliable results.

The partnership is already delivering value in customer projects. Several body shops, particularly across the Asia-Pacific region, now use Surventis coating materials with NST robotic systems in their daily operations. These real-world applications provide valuable insights and support the ongoing advancement of automated painting processes.

Advancing Automated Refinish Applications

The partnership brings together Surventis’ expertise in coating technology and application processes with NST’s capabilities in robotic painting systems and automation. By combining their strengths, the companies aim to help body shops improve operational efficiency, application consistency, and overall process quality through automated painting solutions.

“Through joint testing and customer applications with NST, we have demonstrated that Surventis coating systems can be successfully integrated into automated paint processes. These activities have provided valuable insights into optimizing application performance and supporting consistent, high-quality results. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and helping customers advance their automation initiatives”, said Chen Liu, Vice President Global Technology Refinish Coatings at Surventis. 

"Our collaboration with Surventis is built on a shared belief that the future of automotive refinishing lies in the combination of advanced coating technology and intelligent automation. By bringing together Surventis’ process expertise and coating innovations with NST’s robotics and intelligent control technologies, we can help body shops improve efficiency, consistency and quality while accelerating the adoption of next-generation painting solutions. This agreement provides a strong foundation for continued innovation and customer-focused development in the automotive refinish industry," said Ke Dong Bi, Chairman of the Board at NST.  

The agreement establishes a framework for continued testing, technical validation, and future development initiatives. It also enables Surventis and NST to contribute their complementary expertise to the wider automotive refinish industry.
