PPG held a ceremony marking the completion of a US$20M centre for on-site electrocoat coatings blending at its resin manufacturing facility in Zhangjiagang, China.
The new nearly 3500m2 centre 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 environmentally 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. The site started production in 2011 as PPG’s first resin plant in China.
