CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich., Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Axalta, a leading global supplier of liquid and powder coatings (NYSE: AXTA), announced today that it has signed a multi-year agreement to become the "Official Paint Partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars."

Located in the north end zone, each 10 ft. x 31 ft. spa overlooks the playing field, giving fans an unmatched way to watch games. Prominent Axalta branding will surround the spas.

"Axalta is pleased to be partnering with such an iconic brand and organization as the Jacksonville Jaguars," said Steven R. Markevich, Axalta Executive Vice President. "This partnership exemplifies the highest quality from both arenas – the Jaguars putting a quality team on the field every week and Axalta using only the highest quality products with the Jaguars and the TIAA Bank Field. We also look forward to working with the City of Jacksonville and with our many customers located in the greater Jacksonville area." 

Axalta's line up coatings include Imron coatings for the marine sector, a full line of Industrial coatings for architectural applications as well as Transportation coatings for any type of vehicle that moves people or goods. Each Axalta product provides excellent resistance to weathering, humidity, chemicals and abrasion while maintaining brilliant color.
