“We are honored again to be an Edison Awards recipient, as it reflects our company’s focus on innovation,” say Dr. Robert Roop, Axalta's chief technology officer. “These three remarkable solutions further showcase what our innovations can do for our customers.

Edison Awards winners were recently announced at the 37th annual Edison Awards event in Fort Myers, Florida. They were chosen as the “best of the best” within their respective categories by some of the world’s top senior business executives, designers, academics and innovation leaders.
Axalta Irus Mix is the first fully automated, completely hands-free paint mixing machine that delivers highly accurate color, maximizing efficiency in a body shop, the company says. The machine uses packaging made from 50% recycled plastic with precise dosing lids that dispenses paint without waste.
Axalta’s Voltatex 7345 A ECO Wire Enamel is a cresol-free, low hazard insulating varnish for magnet wires in motors, transformers, generators and other electrical devices that drive electrification in many areas of daily life. This material is easy to process, reduces risk to workers and contributes to an improved carbon footprint.
Axalta’s low carbon footprint sustainable coating system with Hyperdur primer and Chromadyne colorcoat reduces energy consumption by up to 21% and decreases CO2 emissions by up to 5% or 17 Kg per unit produced. This novel, sustainable coating system provides manufacturing flexibility while maintaining superior appearance.
Named after Thomas Edison, the Edison Awards have recognized and honored some of the most innovative new products, services and business leaders in the world since 1987.
