ucts, it would save and create retail
jobs, generate billions in revenue and
increase home values at a time when
we really need a boost,” Congressman
Johnson said.
“The HIRE Act will offer incentives
for consumers who would otherwise
forgo spending in 2009 and 2010,
allowing them to improve their
homes,” Congressman Deal said. “And,
in turn, jump-start the home furnishings and building products market.”
Provisions of the HIRE Act, which
apply to households with income up to
$300,000, provide a tax deduction of
$2,000 per family and tax credits of
$500 for the purchase of qualified
building products and home furnishings. These credits are doubled for
products meeting certain environmen-
tal certifications. Retailers would be
eligible for related tax credits of up to
$10,000 under provisions of the bill.
DÜRR RECEIVES MAJOR ORDER
FROM RENAULT IN MOROCCO
Dürr Group is supporting the automotive manufacturer Renault in building a
new plant for good value medium-sized
cars. Dürr is to deliver the majority of
the required paint systems to the site in
Tangiers, Morocco by the end of 2011.
The order was placed by Renault at the
end of July 2009.
Renault is establishing its largest
African production site in Tangiers.
The site is to initially manufacture
two new car models, primarily aimed
at worldwide export. Dürr is delivering two complete lines for applying
primer and top coats. It is also supplying the robots for seam sealing
and underbody and rocker panel
coating. The painting lines are fully
automated with robots, including the
paint atomizer EcoBell 2 ICC with
integrated color changer. This innovative technology accelerates the
switch from one color to another and
also reduces the amount of paint lost
during this process.
The paintshop in Tangiers is set to
be completed by the end of 2011,
allowing Renault to start production
at the beginning of 2012. Dürr is
making the most of its international
group network in carrying out the
order, involving Dürr companies
from Germany, China, France and
Spain. CW
