speed up our production and improve our
cycle times."
Even though he works mostly in metal,
Kevin was impressed with Envirobase
High Performance and its ease of use. "i
have to do some painting, from time to
time," he said. "i was amazed. it's really
user-friendly."
Another deciding factor in choosing PPG
was its PaintManager
™
software. Both
brothers agree the paint management
system enables them to do more accurate
matches while improving profitability.
"the management side of it is really
good, with the tracking and the charging
out materials," doug said. "it was a
nice change from what i'd been using."
seven years after opening their doors,
2Brothers Collision is still booming. the
facility has tripled in size to over 17,000
square feet, including a brand new
building with an office and three state-of-
the-art paint booths—two running full-
time and a third to cover spikes in the
workload. the Meadows brothers now
employ 21 full-time employees, and are
prepared to add more in the future.
Best yet, their father works in the
accounting department and doug has two
sons working in the shop—Ryan as a full-
time painter and Jordon as part-time car
prep. so what was once a brotherly outfit
is transforming into a multi-generational
family operation. "doing it together makes
it all that much sweeter," said Kevin.
