PPG Marks Completion of $20 Million Electrocoat Center at Zhangjiagang, China, Facility

摘要

PPG Industries held a ceremony marking the completion of a $20 million center for on-site electrocoat coatings blending at its resin manufacturing facility in Zhangjiagang, China. The new 37,500-square-foot (nearly 3,500 square meters) center adds production and blending capacity for high-performance cathodic electrocoat (e-coat) coatings. It is PPG's second e-coat blending operation in China along with one in Tianjin. The new operation will help PPG meet growing demand by automotive-manufacturing and industrial customers for environ- mentally friendly coatings, such as waterborne e-coat products that comply with environmental regulations in China. Nearly 100 guests attended the opening ceremony, including local government officials, customer representatives, PPG executives and employees of the Zhangjiagang plant.
