PITTSBURGH — PPG Industries Inc. announced the start of operations at a new “Kaleidoscope Workcell” in Janesville, WI, for the production of 5- to 1,000-gallon batches of the company’s Duranar coatings for sale to local customers.
Introduced in 1995 at a PPG plant in Delaware, OH, the Kaleidoscope Workcell technology is designed to effectively supply the growing market for smaller but more frequently placed orders. The technology minimizes batch-to-batch variations while producing coatings more rapidly, efficiently and economically, the company says.
