PPG Industries is a global manufacturer of coatings, glass, and chemicals, established in 1883. PPG’s global presence is represented through 120 manufacturing locations in 23 countries, and over 100 service programs on six continents. PPG’s 2004 revenues were $9.5 billion, resulting from the hard work and dedication of 34,000 employees worldwide. PPG has been involved in Chemical Management service programs since the late 1980’s, however in 2000 PPG formed the Total Service Solutions (TSS) group. TSS is a centralized effort in the development of services business across our Automotive, Aerospace and Industrial businesses. This dedicated team is comprised of purchasing and service specialists focused on Chemical Management and similar service businesses. Because PPG is a coatings and chemical company, we have the core competencies to address the whole process by looking at the big picture. It is this “big picture” perspective that gives our Chemical Managers an advantage as they look at how modifications affect the whole process. PPG is one of the few competitors that bring this perspective to Chemical Management programs. Our size and volume of service programs allow PPG to provide significant leveraged buying strength to our customers. The TSS Purchasing staff has over 200 negotiated contracts with Tier II suppliers. PPG’s global presence allows us the logistical network to provide services in nearly every corner of the world. For more information please contact the PPG representative provided.
