Axalta Coating Systems, a global coatings company, and Dürr Systems have entered into a partnership to provide a digital paint solution, combining Axalta’s NextJet technology with Dürr’s robotics integration.

Digital paint, also referred to as overspray-free application, is an advanced paint application that allows for precise paint placement. Under the terms of the agreement, Dürr will serve as the robotics integrator for Axalta NextJet for light vehicle Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM).

This partnership leverages the digital paint expertise Axalta and Dürr have each cultivated over recent years. In 2023, Axalta and Xaar announced their digital paint partnership that brought their unique capabilities together to offer solutions to light vehicle OEMs. Xaar will continue to be an integral part of the digital paint solutions that Axalta and Dürr will offer to the OEM market.

Demonstrations with Axalta NextJet on Dürr robotics have already begun at Dürr’s test center in Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany.
