PPG caps a busy 2013 by launching three separate coatings; each intended for a specific application. As regulatory and operational requirements drive coatings decisions, it’s increasingly clear that, on the water, one size does not fit all anymore. You can get there, nevertheless, by the numbers. It has been a busy year for PPG Protective and Marine Coatings (PPG). With at least three new marine product releases and even a new production plant in Poland, the Pittsburgh, PA-based global coatings and specialty products company hasn’t stopped long enough to give the proverbial barnacles the smallest chance to slow its growth. Founded in 1883 and operating in nearly 70 countries around the world, PPG’s sales in 2012 exceeded $15 billion.
