HELLA has added to its brand portfolio by branching out into the UK collision repair sector with the launch of Sonne.

Within its first year, the brand has increased its product range and team.

Sonne is building a solid reputation in the bodyshop sector, not only for its comprehensive range of high quality refinish paint products and ancillaries, but by providing an ideal free to choose alternative for refinish distributors and repairers focusing on performance, productivity and efficiency.

The portfolio includes solid, metallic, pearl and xirallic toners, the Sonne Hidrosonne Evo range of VOC compliant water based paints offers a palette in excess of 70,000 colours, high opacity and excellent drying properties.

It is fully supported by Sonne ancillaries, including 420 high solid and ‘anti-scratch’ clearcoat products.

A ‘shades of grey’ primer system, with both high build surfaces and wet-on-wet capabilities.

There is also a range of hardeners and thinners to suit the temperature differences often seen in the UK.

Sonne has recently introduced an accelerated thinner into the range.

The thinner also reduces energy costs, cuts product usage and increases productivity, due to the time saving properties it brings to the entire process.

Sonne is further extending its range with a new fast drying ‘anti-scratch’ clearcoat and fade out thinner available this summer, together with new sizes for existing ancillary products.

Paul Tredgold, head of paint division at Sonne, said: “It’s been a really incredible journey so far for Sonne, which has been extremely well received by the industry, because it ticks all the boxes in the free to choose sector.

“The quality of the product is first rate and there is an immense strength in the brand behind it.

“We’ve built a great network of distributors and bodyshops and our team is continuing to grow as more business has come on board.

“Our portfolio is also increasing, with some exciting new products being launched throughout the rest of this year.

“Overall, I think the first year of Sonne has been a tremendous success and surpassed all our expectations and I know it’ll continue this way, not only because of the product and company, but the way the market has responded to it and the clear need that it fulfils for the bodyshop.”
