The facility, which employs more than 190, plans to hire extra workers to provide the increased capacity.
“Waterborne coatings offer manufacturers a more sustainable alternative to typical solvent based coatings by reducing volatile organic compounds,” said Jean-Marie Greindl, who heads OEM coatings for the EMEA region at PPG.
“PPG has been at the forefront of this technology throughout its evolution and holds a leading position in this segment in Europe.”
