Fix Network Canada, with over 500 + stores in its network in Canada, is making significant strides in advancing plastic repair first strategies, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and operational excellence across the collision repair industry.
In a recent meeting held at Fix Network Canada’s training and skills development facility in Toronto, Mario Dimovski met with Daryll O’Keefe and Mary de Guzman, to further strengthen a collaborative mission with Plasnomic. The session focused on aligning strategic priorities and laying the foundation for a national approach to plastic repair that emphasizes best practices, environmental responsibility, and scalable implementation across the Fix Network.
This collaboration marks an important step toward positioning Fix Network Canada as a leader in repair first methodologies. With plastic components such as bumper covers and headlights representing a significant portion of vehicle damage and repair costs, the shift toward repair over replacement presents a major opportunity to reduce waste, improve cycle times, and deliver more sustainable outcomes.
The joint initiative will focus on:
• Developing best practice frameworks for plastic repair across the Fix Network Canada ecosystem
• Advancing repair first strategies that prioritize safe, durable, and OEM compatible repairs
• Driving plastic waste reduction through increased repair adoption and circular repair methodologies
• Supporting the creation of circular repair ecosystems, extending the lifecycle of plastic components
• Establishing training and certification pathways to elevate technician capability and consistency
Fix Network Canada’s leadership continues to demonstrate a forward thinking approach by embracing sustainability as a core pillar of its operational strategy. By investing in training, innovation, and collaborative partnerships, the organization is actively shaping the future of collision repair in Canada.
Plasnomic, as an emerging global authority on plastic repair standards, training, and compliance, brings a transformative approach to addressing the industry’s knowledge gap in plastic repair. Through its focus on certification models, advanced methodologies, and global best practices, Plasnomic is working to elevate plastic repair into a recognized and standardized specialty within the automotive repair industry.
Together, Fix Network Canada and Plasnomic are building a framework that not only improves repair quality and efficiency but also contributes to broader environmental goals by diverting plastic waste from landfills and supporting circular economy principles.
This initiative stands as a testament to the vision and leadership within Fix Network Canada and highlights the ongoing transformative work being driven by Plasnomic to redefine how plastic repairs are approached, executed, and measured on a global scale.
Further updates on pilot programs, training initiatives, and national rollout plans will be shared as the collaboration progresses.
