ORLANDO, FL - PPG Industries Inc.'s PRC-DeSoto International and aircraft-transparencies businesses announced the launch of a new combined brand identity as PPG Aerospace, a move the company said is aimed at effectively marketing its aerospace product lines of coatings, sealants and transparencies.
PRC-DeSoto, a global supplier of aerospace coatings and sealants, was acquired by PPG Industries in 1999 from Akzo Nobel in a transaction involving Akzo Nobel's purchase of Courtaulds plc's coatings businesses. PPG said it is the world's largest supplier of aircraft transparencies.
