Even featured a whole host of products, solutions and business opportunities for collision jobbers, vendors and professionals

On April 16, PBE Distributors (a division of Color Compass Corporation) once again held its annual Spring Trade Show in Ontario. The event took place at the Hilton Mississauga/Meadowvale, west of Toronto, and featured over 50 exhibitors and nearly 300 attendees.

The Trade Show, now in its 36th year, draws collision industry professionals from across Canada and beyond, with this year’s event welcoming jobbers from many provinces.

Canadian debut
This year’s event featured a whole host of collision industry products and solutions on display, including the Canadian launch of the ROTOGEN 2 Orbital/Rotary shaker from Motor Guard Products. This state-of-the-art automotive paint mixer offers fully automated paint mixing, and can be adjusted to mix paint materials at different speeds to ensure the exact specification required. An optional pick up insert also enables large containers to be used with mixer. The objective is to deliver consistent accuracy and quality in paint mixing, while saving time in the collision centre or workshop.

Also present was special VIP guest and well-known custom painter Ron Gibbs, who showcased his pin-striping skills at the House of Kolor booth during the show.

The event also features on-site food and beverage stations and this year, sponsors for the catering came from Sherwin-Williams, 3M Canada and Wesco Group.

This multi-million dollar distributor sales event also featured $4000 in Door Prizes for 2026 (a total of 16 individual prizes), the winners of these will be announced  on June 1, in London, Ontario.

All in all, a great event and Autosphere was very glad to be a part of it again this year!
