PPG announced the completion of a $7.8 million investment in its Coatings Innovation Center in Allison Park, Pa., just 20 minutes from its global headquarters in Pittsburgh. A renovated refinish training center was part of the project.
The upgrades to the facility include increased laboratory and testing space and upgraded equipment that improves the technical capabilities of the company’s primary research and development facility for paint and coatings. The upgrades enhance PPG’s resources for creating and testing sealants, adhesives and pretreatment solutions; for simulating the environments where customers use its automotive and industrial paints and coatings; and for training distributors,
