PPG Opens Aerospace Application Support Facility in France
PPG has opened a $17 million aerospace application support center (ASC) in Toulouse, France. The facility provides filling and packaging capabilities for aerospace materials, including coatings and sealants for a wide range of aircraft, as well as technical support and a laboratory. The location of ASC Toulouse allows the company to provide faster product deliveries to aerospace customers in southern Europe and North Africa.
“PPG is a critical supplier to the aerospace industry, with a suite of technologically advanced products,” said Francois Buehlmann, PPG general manager EMEA, Aerospace. “This new facility will significantly enhance our responsiveness and customer support capabilities, while enabling the qualification of our unique materials earlier in the product development cycle.”
