Twenty one employees of Belron-owned shops competed in the Best of Belron competition last week at the Formula 1 race track "Nürburgring" in Germany.

German Thomas Bessel walked away with the title of Technician of the Year, the winner of the competition.

Others recognized for quality work were runners up: Laurent Doneux, representing the Belgium/Luxenbourg region, Matt Walsh from Australia, Richard Sittlington of New Zealand and Joris Meesen of the Netherlands.

Jason Dansey of the United Kingdom received the Smart Thinking award, having recognized and resolved "a number of 'bear traps'" designed to stump competitors.

Belron's main suppliers of glass and urethane, including Dow Automotive, Sika, Pilkington, and Saint Gobain Sekurit, are among the sponsors of the yearly competition.

Belron is the largest auto glass repair and replacement company in the world and operates in 28 countries under different names including Autoglass, Carglass, Lebeau and O'Brien overseas and Elite Auto Glass and Maverick Auto Glass in the United States.
