Technology innovation has been a hallmark of PPG’s success throughout its history with the first R&D facility opening in 1910. Now with 12 research & development centers globally, we continually grow our position as the leading global coatings & specialty products company. #PPG135 | PPG

In the 2000s, nature-inspired design rose in popularity, and we offered paint colors reflective of the natural environment to help customers bring those elements into their homes. Through our acquisition of SigmaKalon, we enhanced our focus on coatings and gained more products for our architectural, protective and marine and industrial coatings businesses. We also divested our glass business, a significant milestone as we moved forward as a leader in paints, coatings and specialty materials. #PP
