NABC Welcomes New Corporate Member LORD Corporation

The National Auto Body Council (NABC) has announced that LORD Corporation, a developer of adhesive, coating, and motion management technology for the collision repair and other industries, has become the organization’s newest corporate member.

Beyond its role of supplier, the LORD Corporation has partnered with the collision industry over the years, most prominently in the co-development of technical training on adhesives and bonding solutions for auto body repair. LORD Corporation’s decision to further support the profession by contributing to NABC reflects the value it sees in the Council’s work, now and in the future.

Jim Perritt, Manager of Global Marketing and North America for LORD Automotive Aftermarket, commented, “LORD Corporation is looking forward to contributing to NABC's ongoing pursuit in demonstrating the willingness of the collision repair industry to take active leadership roles in our communities."

“LORD Corporation’s dedication to quality, value, and integrity has spanned the decades, and our industry is the better for it,” stated NABC Executive Director Chuck Sulkala. “We’re gratified that they are expanding their commitment to the industry by becoming an NABC corporate member. By stepping forward, LORD is validating not only the work that NABC does, but the value of the industry as a whole. We anticipate a long and mutually beneficial relationship, and offer our most heartfelt thanks.”

The support of corporate members helps NABC, a not-for-profit organization, undertake such projects as a national public relations effort to educate consumers and repairers on issues such as eliminating fraud and finding a quality collision repair facility; the Collision Industry Relief project; and, most recently, a comprehensive effort to network with the consumer press to elevate the collision repairer’s profile in the eyes of the motoring public.

Companies and collision repairers interested in changing the industry for the better can help by becoming a member of NABC. Membership applications are available on the website at www.autobodycouncil.org.

With headquarters in Cary, NC, and sales in excess of $550-MM, LORD Corporation has manufacturing in eight countries and offices in more than 15 major business centers, with more than 2,400 employees worldwide.
