Body shops around the world will now have access to the 3M™ Clean Sanding System as part of a comprehensive dust extraction solution offered by 3M.
To drive the overall strategic direction in its dust extraction tool offering, 3M announced that effective in Q4 of 2024, the 3M™ Clean Sanding System will be offered globally, including the United States, Canada, Europe, and Korea.
Dust extraction is an important tool for driving productivity and efficiency in the body shop, where dust is a core concern. A clean shop can mean less rework, better cycle times, and the peace of mind that you are doing what you can to improve the shop environment. Today, 3M is excited to extend the 3M branded dust extraction solution for customers globally, continuing to partner with body shops to help drive faster and cleaner repairs.
The 3M™ Clean Sanding System is a complete sanding solution for efficient surface preparation and finishing work. The system includes a dust extractor, pneumatic and/or electric random orbital sanders, mobile workstation, organizer, and a wide selection of quality abrasives, and personal protective equipment. All components are designed to work together to reduce dust in the air from sanding for a cleaner workspace.
“The 3M™ Clean Sanding System has been a proven solution in shops around the world for several years,” said Andrew Flaherty, Global Business Director, 3M Automotive Aftermarket Division. “This will be the base of further development and innovation in bringing collision industry focused dust extraction solutions to our valued customers moving forward!”
With the introduction of the 3M™ Clean Sanding System, 3M also announced that effective December 31st, 2024, in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Korea, the collaboration between Festool and 3M Automotive Aftermarket will come to a close. 3M will no longer offer Festool products after the end of 2024.
3M is excited to introduce the 3M™ Clean Sanding System into additional geographies and looks forward to continuing to develop Collision Repair Industry solutions to meet their customer’s needs with a complete dust extraction portfolio.
