PPG to Consolidate Distribution at New Refinish Coatings Facility
PITTSBURGH — PPG Industries Inc.’s automotive-refinish coatings business is building a $6.1-million distribution center near Lima, OH, with operation expected to begin in mid-2000. The 252,000-square-foot facility will consolidate distribution functions for refinish coatings, said Douglas C. Hepper, vice president for PPG’s refinish-coatings business.
Hepper said the center will enhance distribution operations for the company’s expanded portfolio of refinish coatings and related products, the result of recent acquisitions of MaxMeyer Duco and ICI Autocolor, and the introduction of new products.
