PSE Group Remains Committed to Supporting Tomorrow's Collision Repair Experts

With talent in great demand throughout the industry of collision repair, never has the need for support and resources been higher. That’s why here at PSE Group, we are proud to sponsor to the Collision Repair Education Foundation's (CREF) student tech shirts initiative through our Painters Supply & Equipment brand. This partnership signifies a genuine commitment to the growth and development of tomorrow’s collision repair professionals.

CREF’s mission is designed to support collision repair educational programs, schools, and students to create qualified, entry-level employees and connect them with a variety of career opportunities.

The landscape of collision repair is constantly evolving, driven by technological advancements like EV as well as the constant changing of automotive features and designs. In this dynamic environment, equipping the next generation of technicians with the right tools and knowledge is crucial – especially since many “baby-boomer” technicians are retiring far faster than the tech programs can keep up with replacing.

Recognizing these challenges, initiatives like the CREF student tech shirt program play a pivotal role. By providing students with necessary resources such as uniforms and educational materials, this initiative not only eases financial burdens but also fosters a sense of belonging and professionalism among future technicians. Through PSE's sponsorship, students gain access to the attire necessary for their training.

At the core of PSE Group's sponsorship lies a genuine desire to support the collision repair community. With decades of experience in supplying automotive refinishing products and equipment, PSE Group understands the needs and opportunities that exist for today’s auto technicians. By investing in educational initiatives like the CREF program, it strengthens our ties to the industry while contributing to its long-term sustainability.

PSE's sponsorship reinforces our belief in the transformative power of education. By empowering students with the tools they need to succeed, it helps cultivate a skilled workforce that will shape the future of collision repair. Whether through product innovations or educational support, PSE Group is committed to nurturing the next generation of technicians.

Additionally, this sponsorship aligns with our mission of becoming the best automotive and specialty coatings distributor in the United States. By providing students with high-quality uniforms and tools, we instill a culture of professionalism and attention to detail from the start of a career in the coatings industry. These values of striving to be your best are essential not only for success in collision repair but also for personal and professional growth
