“Start-up of the Zhangjiagang plant marks another important milestone in PPG’s history of doing business in China,” said PPG chairman and CEO Charles Bunch.
“This resins plant will help PPG to better serve China and other countries in the Asia/Pacific region, reinforcing our leading position in the regional paint and coatings industry as well as our focus on growth in these rapidly developing economies.”
The new plant will produce finished electrodeposition resins for use in the manufacture of automotive and industrial electrocoat products. It spans 60,000 square meters and incorporates ‘green’ building materials by PPG such as low-VOC (volatile organic compound) coatings and low-emissivity glass.
PPG also operates resin-production facilities in the US, Europe, Brazil, Australia, South Korea and Mexico.
