L2L Growth Continued Across Automotive Industry in 2020

SPARKS, Nev., March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The negative impacts of 2020 are still being felt in industries across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic took a major toll on manufacturing, and the automotive industry was no exception.

Until then, the industry has been adapting and has been pushed to quickly find ways to…

SPARKS, Nev., March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The negative impacts of 2020 are still being felt in industries across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic took a major toll on manufacturing, and the automotive industry was no exception. According to the Boston Consulting Group, 2023 is predicted to be the year when automotive sales in Europe and U.S. will return to pre-COVID levels. Until then, the industry has been adapting and has been pushed to quickly find ways to increase efficiency, and become more automated and digitized.

Greater efficiency and visibility have become key factors in allowing the automotive industry to adapt. This is true from the plant floor to the C-Suite, and to customer transactions. Many manufacturers have found that L2L, a leading provider of plant floor digital lean production and maintenance solutions for manufacturers, has provided them real-time visibility, workflow management, reduced downtimes, and the need for fewer people on-site to allow for social distancing precautions.

As more automotive manufacturers realize these benefits from L2L’s cloud-based plant floor solutions, L2L’s automotive customer base continues to grow. Despite 2020 being a challenging year for the industry, the following are a few automotive companies where new manufacturing sites were added during the year:

  • Oetiker — Global leader in high-end connecting solutions for the vehicle industry specializing in high-quality clamps, rings, straps and quick-connectors
  • Nissin Brake — Automotive brakes manufacturer
  • Worthington — Steel processor
  • ADAC — Tier 1 supplier of mechatronic vehicle access systems
  • Hanon — Full-line thermal and energy management solutions provider
  • ZF — Global leader in driveline and chassis technology

«Though the past year has been challenging for everyone, we have been proud to be able to help our customers adapt and continue doing business successfully,» said Bob Argyle, CCO of L2L. «Our system, uniquely, can be quickly and inexpensively deployed, tailored for each manufacturer’s needs, and has become a critical tool for managing operations both on-site and remotely.»

L2L’s technology has a history of proven results with companies like Autoliv. In 2018 Autoliv achieved a 5% global improvement in operational availability, 30% in faster response time to equipment hurdles, and 12% cost reductions after deploying L2L. More recently, new customer ADAC saw a 211% decrease in downtime in one facility, and a 113% decrease in a second facility during 2020.

L2L’s momentum has steadily grown over the past 24 months. The company’s achievements over that time included an award by the National Association of Manufacturers’ (NAM) Manufacturing Leadership Council, recognizing L2L’s role in Purple Innovations’ manufacturing success.

To learn more about L2L and how you can deploy our system, please visit http://www.L2L.com.

About L2L
Founded in 2010, L2L provides a Lean Execution System software platform for manufacturers. It has integrated and easy-to-use lean tools that allow operators and managers to use real-time data to reveal and solve root cause problems that cause metric misses, all while creating a sustainable plant floor culture of continuous improvement.

Turtle Wax® Celebrates 75th Anniversary With Introduction Of Scholarship Program To Train The Next Generation Of Detailers

CHICAGO, March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The original car wax that put Turtle Wax® on the map was developed in founder Ben Hirsch’s bathtub.

CHICAGO, March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The original car wax that put Turtle Wax® on the map was developed in founder Ben Hirsch’s bathtub. The company at that time was called Plastone, which later evolved into the celebrated Turtle Wax brand it is today. From its humble Chicago roots to distribution in more than 120 countries, Turtle Wax products continue to outshine the competition, providing car enthusiasts with formulas to meet their ever-changing needs.

From city streets to country roads, Turtle Wax has been an integral part of American culture for the last 75 years and has solidified its place in the hearts and minds of car enthusiasts as the No. 1 brand across multiple categories including carpet/fabric care, spray wax, lens restoration kits, compounds/polishes, scratch removers and bug/tar/sticker removers.*

To kick-off car care season, Turtle Wax is celebrating its past while laying the groundwork for the next 75 years with the announcement of The Healy Family Scholarship Program and Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Graphene Paste Wax, a new paste wax featuring the brand’s patent pending graphene technology, one of the top, new ingredient trends in car care.

«It’s been an incredible journey over the last 75 years, and I’m so lucky to have had a front-row seat to it all,» said Denis John Healy, executive chairman, Turtle Wax. «The fact that we continue to expand to new channels and territories – yet stay true to our values – and make sure our products continue to be easy to use, are grounded in technology, and always come at a great price, is a testament to the foundation built by my grandparents and parents. I’m honored to continue their legacy and excited for what we have in store for 2021 and beyond.»

TRAINING THE FUTURE
Setting the industry standard for superiority in car care is what Turtle Wax has and will continue to do. An important part of that commitment is supporting the future generation of car detailers and giving them ample resources to succeed, and that starts with training, which is paramount to growing this industry.

The Healy Family Scholarship Program will support training and educational opportunities for future detailers and chemists. To start, the brand is donating $75,000 worth of trainings led by a Turtle Wax International Detailing Association (IDA) Recognized Trainer over the next three years to support and further their careers without the worry of financial investments.

AIDA Cruises has implemented a comprehensive set of enhanced health and safety protocols for guests and crew members utilized on several AIDA cruises in fall 2020. In recent months, the islands of «eternal spring» have been a holiday destination in Europe with consistently low incidence rates. As a result of the Spanish government’s regulations for safe travel, which coincide with AIDA’s enhanced health and safety protocols, the cruise line’s guests have been able to enjoy relaxing holidays in the Canary Islands.

The enhanced health and safety protocols — tested by SGS Institut Fresenius and confirmed by the classification society DNV GL — includes a mandatory polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for detecting viruses and bacteria before traveling, as well as regular health checks, extensive distance and hygiene rules, medical care including test capacities on board and other measures.

Cruise vacations in other AIDA destinations are currently not possible. However, with the extension of its cruise season around the Canary Islands with AIDAperla, AIDA Cruises will be able to offer all guests an attractive holiday option.

The same applies to all guests who were originally scheduled to depart with AIDAsol from Hamburg and Rotterdam to Northern Europe and Norway between March 20 and April 3, 2021, or with AIDAluna from Hamburg on March 31 and April 04, 2021.

The positioning cruises with AIDAmira scheduled to depart on April 16, 2021, and with AIDAvita on April 20, 2021, have to be canceled as well.

All guests whose voyage cannot take place as originally scheduled will be informed immediately. AIDA Cruises appreciates all guests affected for their understanding.

With the «AIDA promise,» the cruise company offers guests more flexibility and security in planning. Generous booking options are part of AIDA’s commitment to its guests, ranging from small down payments to free rebooking. The «AIDA promise» is included in the travel price for new bookings up to May 31, 2021, and applies to departures up to Oct. 1, 2021.

All cruises are carried out in compliance with AIDA’s extensive health and safety protocols, as well as national and local laws and regulations for infection protection. More information is available at www.aida.de/sichererurlaub.  

All trips from the AIDA cruise program can be booked through summer 2022 with a local travel professional, online at www.aida.de or through the AIDA customer center.

Global Automotive Repair and Maintenance Market Report 2021: Long-term Forecast to 2025 & 2030

DUBLIN, March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Automotive Repair and Maintenance Global Market Report 2021: COVID-19 Impact and Recovery to 2030» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

Major companies in the automotive repair and maintenance market include Arnold Clark Automobiles Limited; Asbury Automotive Group; Ashland Automotive; Belron International Ltd. and Carmax Autocare Center.

The global automotive repair and maintenance market is expected to grow from $641. 4 billion in 2020 to $690. 07 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7. 6%. The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $879. 4 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 6%.

The automotive repair and maintenance market consists of sales of automotive repair and maintenance services by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that provide automotive repair and maintenance services for passenger automobiles, commercial vehicles and motorcycles and bicycles. The automotive repair and maintenance market is segmented into automotive mechanical and electrical repair and maintenance; automotive body, paint, interior, and glass repair; and other automotive repair and maintenance.

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the global automotive repair and maintenance market, accounting for 33% of the market in 2020. Western Europe was the second largest region accounting for 30% of the global automotive repair and maintenance market. South America was the smallest region in the global automotive repair and maintenance market.

Automotive repair and maintenance services companies are increasingly using artificial intelligence based automated vehicle inspection technology for vehicle inspection. Automated vehicle inspection systems capture pictures of the vehicle entering the cabin from multiple angles and uploads it to the central computing system which then compares it with standards to identify deviations. The system generates a report with an overview of all the issues flagged in the car and the required actions needed to be taken.

Automotive repair and maintenance service providers are increasingly installing diagnostic devices in customer vehicles to improve their service offerings. On-board diagnostics tools are being used to track vehicle condition and identify potential problems by running diagnosis.

For instance, Koovers, a car maintenance services provider, fits an on-board diagnostics tool for its registered customers. Its call centre picks up the error reported by the tool and connects with the customer for required repair work. This enables garages to check for required parts for the car even before the car is brought in for service thus reducing wait time.
