Axalta Coating Systems has appointed Coffs Harbour Toyota as its newest Australian refinish distributor, strategically located in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales. This partnership reflects Axalta’s continued commitment to strengthening its refinish network and delivering premium coating solutions to regional markets across Australia.

With a long-standing presence in the local automotive industry, the dealership has built a strong reputation for customer service and technical expertise. As part of the Tony White Group, it also benefits from broader automotive refinishing experience across the network, including key dealerships such as Illawarra Toyota. This positions the business to hit the ground running, supported by established systems, shared resources, and ongoing training.

Partnering with an established dealership that actively services the automotive trade ensures the infrastructure is already in place to efficiently warehouse and distribute Axalta products. Through this collaboration, the business will offer Axalta’s globally recognised refinish brands, including Spies Hecker, Duxone, and Nason Industrial. This expanded portfolio will provide local repairers with access to high-quality coatings, trusted systems, and advanced colour technologies.

Anthony Thrift, Axalta’s Territory Business Manager for NSW/ACT, highlighted the importance of aligning with a distributor that shares Axalta’s commitment to service excellence and customer satisfaction. “The appointment of Coffs Harbour Toyota reflects their strong local reputation, professional capabilities, and dedication to supporting the refinish industry,” he said.

Tasman Michel, Group Parts Manager at Coffs Harbour Toyota, also welcomed the partnership, noting that the addition of Axalta’s premium product portfolio will further strengthen their offering to customers across the region. Backed by Axalta’s technical support and innovation, the business is well positioned to deliver exceptional outcomes for repairers and businesses alike.

This strategic alliance between Axalta Coating Systems and Coffs Harbour Toyota will enhance access to industry-leading refinish solutions throughout the Mid North Coast. It reinforces Axalta’s commitment to supporting regional customers with reliable products, expert support, and consistent service.

Together, they look forward to building a strong and successful future.
