"I began in the automotive trade as a bodyman and refinisher in 1963, and have been with C. Penner Auto Body Ltd since 1972. Over the course of those years, I have used various paint products and suppliers and have always been impressed with DuPont products. I remember the day that Ted Greenwood stopped by the shop and introduced himself to me. After getting to know each other a little, he asked me if I would buy DuPont from him. Without hesitation I said yes. Since Rondex opened their doors in 1972 I have enjoyed dealing with Ted, Ron, Dexter and now their boys. We have always appreciated their professional sales people, personnel on the order desk and delivery staff. I’m reaching the age when I’m ready to retire and hand over my business to my son. It is with great pleasure that he will continue to deal with Rondex for many years to come."
