Bodyshop equipment specialist Car-O-Liner has announced the appointment of a new distribution agent for Ireland. Theo English, who has great experience in the accident repair field, has taken on the role and will be responsible for sales, service, equipment calibration and training, working closely in conjunction with Car-O-Liner staff in both the UK and Sweden.

Theo comments, “Car-O-Liner has a very strong and loyal customer base in Ireland and I am delighted to be working with such a well respected and popular equipment brand. This is an exciting time for the company with new innovations and new technology being introduced all the time to provide a further boost for bodyshop efficiency.”

Theo says he is looking forward to working with the many existing Car-O-liner customers throughout the country as well as introducing advanced Car-O-Liner equipment to potential new customers. He is especially excited about introducing the PointX measuring tool to bodyshops, which offers huge time and cost saving potential, and the very latest welding technology in the shape of the CTR9 Fully Automatic Spot Welder.

Theo says, “The CTR9 is a fantastic piece of kit that several major bodyshops have just installed. It takes welding to new levels of quality, efficiency and ease of use.” The CTR9 fully automatic welder comes with a new light-weight transformer gun with a 355° swivel handle and ergo-grip that enables a technician to find the perfect working positions for any job. The gun is supported by a telescopic arm in durable and lightweight extruded aluminium that can be easily adjusted both vertically and horizontally. A compact power unit with a low centre of gravity gives mobility and stability, a 16,000-amp transformer and CANBUS communication ensures a perfect weld every time.

The unique features of the CTR9 have recently been given formal recognition from two more major car manufacturers, with both GM and Volvo approving the equipment.

Theo says he is available to demonstrate the benefits of the CTR9 and many other items in the Car-O-Liner equipment range. He can be contacted on 087-966-1320.
