Universal Technical Institute announced a three‑year partnership with Fuji Spray Auto that will make the latter the preferred supplier of spray‑gun equipment for UTI’s collision repair and aviation training programs across the United States.
Under the agreement, Fuji Spray will provide professional‑grade spray guns and HVLP turbine systems to UTI campuses, allowing students to train on the same tools used by industry professionals. The partnership also includes a discounted education support program that offers reduced‑cost equipment for schools and students, helping to lower training expenses while maintaining high‑quality standards.
The deal is designed to strengthen UTI’s hands‑on training experience and reinforce its position as a leading provider of skilled‑trade education. By equipping its collision repair and aviation programs with industry‑standard tools, UTI aims to improve student readiness and employer satisfaction, addressing the ongoing demand for qualified technicians in both sectors. For Fuji Spray, the partnership opens a significant channel to introduce its professional‑grade spray guns and HVLP turbine systems to a large pool of aspiring technicians, building brand loyalty and market presence within educational institutions.
Tracy Lorenz, UTI Division President, said, "Training with professional‑grade equipment gives our students a competitive advantage in their careers in collision repair and aviation refinishing. We are grateful to Fuji Spray for their investment in our students and look forward to a productive partnership in the years ahead." David Sherman, Fuji Spray President, added, "At Fuji Spray, we believe the future of skilled trades starts with hands‑on education. Partnering with Universal Technical Institute allows us to support the next generation of finishers by giving students access to professional‑grade spray equipment as they learn their craft."
The partnership represents a strategic alignment that benefits both parties: UTI enhances its curriculum and student outcomes, while Fuji Spray gains exposure to a key customer base and strengthens its foothold in the education market. The collaboration is expected to support the broader industry need for skilled technicians and help both companies maintain a competitive edge in their respective markets.
