Why did BASF decide on Mercuri International
Reasons….
• Industry specialists (Auto)
• Local presence
• Local language
• Local adaptability
• World wide coverage

The problem – The auto market!
Less cars are being repainted
• Shorter design life span
• Safer cars - less accidents
• More plastic parts
• Spare parts delivered in color
Less profits
• Structural changes in the market
• Price pressure
• Insurance companies hunt for savings
Body shops are the little fish in the food chain
• Customer – Insurance – Auto house – Bodywork - Paintwork
The auto market

… And that represents a huge
challenge for any sales
organization
