Five Star 20th birthday in Europe
2009 is the 20th anniversary of the inception of Five Star – the DuPont Refinish European repairer network of top-quality bodyshops, who all share the same high standards.
 
More than just paint
DuPont Refinish has always believed in providing its bodyshops with more than just paint - it knows that bodyshop success is not automatically achieved by simply purchasing high quality-paint, but by looking at the whole package – a concept backed by Five Star. In the two decades since the introduction of Five Star, DuPont Refinish has not only proven this statement, but it has also enveloped it as one of the brand’s core values, central to its offering.
 
Back in the 1990’s, bodyshops who wanted to join Five Star needed to meet strict criteria, most of which were in common with the increasing requirements of the major fleet, lease and insurance companies. This is still true today.

Growth through success
DuPont Refinish still believes the criteria, which have become increasingly stricter over the years, ensures that Five Star is the guarantee for bodyshop customers of first-class repairs and unparalleled customer service. Growth of the network across Europe has always been driven by quality, and so these customer benefits are available in all European Five Star bodyshops. The healthy 8 per cent continuous growth rate means Five Star is now active in nine countries across Europe: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, and the UK.
Five Star has the most bodyshops in France, where it is the second largest repairer network, and it is still gaining in popularity and numbers.
