A LOOK BACK ON SEMA 2024
This year’s SEMA Show—which took place from November 5 to 8, 2024—was a testament to the power of coming together as an industry, surrounded by the glitz and glamour that only Las Vegas, Nevada can offer.
More than just a showcase of the latest products and innovations, the SEMA Show is a vibrant gathering of like-minded professionals eager to share knowledge and insights.
When looking at all the SEMA showroom had to offer, Collision Repair’s first visit was a special unveiling at AkzoNobel’s Central Hall booth. Here, the coatings company once again hosted brand ambassador, custom car builder and designer and painter Dave Kindig—owner of Kindig-It Designs and star of Motor Trend’s Bitchin’ Rides. Another highlight of the event was the announcement of the 2024 winners of the New Product Showcase. Here, I-CAR Academy walked away with the top prize as the best new Collision Repair/Refinish product. Runners-up were Sagola SPRAY (Sagola by Elcometer) and the RTS app from I-CAR, respectively. Additionally, the best new ADAS product was awarded to Revv ADAS Plus by Revv ADAS. Here, runners-up were Revv ADAS Mechanical by Revv ADAS and Solar Wireless Driving Assistant by Vision Automobile Electronics Industrial.
Overall, more than 1,600 products were entered into the 18 different Showcase categories to be considered for a SEMA New Product Award. Winners were selected based on a variety of factors, including superiority of innovation, technical achievement, quality and workmanship, consumer appeal and marketability and more.
Finally, Keystone Automotive was named SEMA Channel partner of the year.
