SÃO PAULO, Brazil — Dürr has installed an automatic painting line for its customer Nordex, which is based in Montevideo, Uruguay. Nordex has been producing vehicles in Uruguay since 1962 for different OEMs. The company contracted Dürr for its new Peugeot SUV and Kia Bongo line.
To achieve best results in its painting processes, Nordex Uruguay contracted with Dürr Brazil to supply a fully automated painting line – a milestone for the local industry. As this is reportedly the first automated painting line in the country, it was also supported by governmental and municipal agencies. Start of production was planned for May 2021. The Dürr team managed the project successfully despite all challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
