Full Turn Key Project complete at Al Haddad Motors – Mercedes-Benz Bahrain
Customer Overview
Al Haddad Motors, the official Mercedes-Benz dealer in Bahrain, has been a leader in automotive excellence for over 60 years. Known for their high standards of quality and precision, Al Haddad Motors required a state-of-the-art refinishing solution that would not only enhance their workflow efficiency but also maintain the prestigious Mercedes-Benz refinishing standards.
To meet their growing demand for high-performance refinishing, they partnered with Todd Engineering to install a custom-built Zeus spray booth, curing oven, and twin Hades preparation booths—delivering a full turnkey refinishing solution tailored to their exact operational requirements.
The Project
The installation at Al Haddad Motors was meticulously designed to streamline their entire refinishing process while ensuring minimal downtime and maximum efficiency.
The bespoke setup includes a Zeus all-electric spray booth and a curing oven, positioned side by side and separated by a dividing roller shutter door. This innovative configuration allows for seamless transitions between the painting and curing phases, significantly reducing turnaround times and improving workshop efficiency.
To further optimize workflow, a track and skate system was incorporated, ensuring effortless vehicle movement between each phase of the process. This system minimizes manual handling, making it easier for technicians to transition vehicles smoothly and safely from one stage to the next.
In addition, twin Hades preparation booths were installed opposite the spray booth and oven, allowing for dust-free sanding, priming, and masking before vehicles enter the spray booth. This strategic layout creates a step-by-step refinishing process, ensuring that every vehicle meets the highest Mercedes-Benz quality standards.
