PPG to Invest $40 million
in Facility Expansion in Brazil
PPG Industries announced an investment
of approximately $40 million in its coatings manufacturing facility located in
Sumare, São Paulo, Brazil.
The expansion project will add a
65,000-square-foot plant for on-site res-
in production. The resin will be used to
manufacture PPG’s electrocoat products
to meet growing demand among auto-
motive original equipment manufac-
turers (OEMs) and industrial coatings
customers in the region. PPG anticipates
completion of the project in 2015 and
expects to add more than 30 new posi-
tions at the facility.
“PPG is committed to the market
in Brazil and the needs of our custom-
ers across Latin America,” said Cynthia
Niekamp, PPG senior vice president, au-
tomotive coatings. “The expansion of the
Sumare facility enables PPG to localize
production and demonstrates our long-
term commitment to support our custom-
ers in this very important region.” CW
