After an absence of three years due to COVID-19 restrictions, the PBE Distributors Spring Trade Show made a very welcome return on April 13. Taking place at the Hilton Mississauga/Meadowvale on April 13, the event featured collision industry exhibitors from across Canada and the U.S.

Everything from refinish products, to abrasives, to spray guns, welding equipment, corrosion protection products and shop solutions was on display. At each of these events PBE Distributors and parent company Color Compass, pull out all the stops by hosting industry celebrities and offering amazing prize draws.

This year, at the House of Kolor exhibit, attendees got a chance to meet Joe and Amanda Martin from the famed Velocity TV series, Iron Resurrection, while there were numerous giveaways and specials during the course of the evening.

Bruce Murray, Business Development Manager at PBE Distributors donned a blue trilby style hat and went around the event, offering Blue Light Special prize tickets. Blue Light Specials are a tradition at this event and always attract great participation as well as offering some amazing prizes.

Speaking with Darrin Heise, National Sales Manager at PBE Distributors, Autosphere noted how great it was to see everybody again, and the event represented the perfect opportunity to reconnect, learn about new products and solutions and simply come together and enjoy the camaraderie during what was a fun packed and highly engaging event.
