    Sales of PPG Industries’ three coatings business segments – Performance Coatings, Industrial Coatings and Architectural Coatings EMEA – combined for $14.3 billion in 2016.
    “PPG had a successful year in 2016, despite a more challenging global economic environment and growing geopolitical uncertainty in many of the regions where we operate,” said Michael McGarry, president and CEO of PPG. “Thanks to our customers and employees, we were able to continue to strengthen our paint and coatings business around the world.”

    PPG’s Performance Coatings and Industrial Coatings reportable segments supply coatings and specialty materials for customers in a wide array of end-use markets, including industrial equipment and components, packaging material; aircraft and marine equipment; automotive original equipment; as well as for other industrial and consumer products. In addition to supplying coatings to the automotive OEM market, PPG supplies refinishes to the automotive aftermarket. PPG also serves commercial and residential new build and maintenance markets by supplying coatings to painting and maintenance contractors and directly to consumers for decoration and maintenance. 

    PPG Withdraws Proposal to Acquire AkzoNobel

    PPG has withdrawn its proposal to combine with AkzoNobel.

    “We were hopeful throughout this process that AkzoNobel’s Boards would see the merits of our compelling proposal to combine our two great companies and create significant shareholder value and a more sustainable business for the future. We strongly believe a combined company would create more opportunities and provide more benefits for our collective customers, employees, shareholders and society in general,” said McGarry. “We made a final attempt for engagement late last week and through a letter to AkzoNobel. In that letter, we addressed AkzoNobel’s stated commentary around value, certainty, timing and stakeholder considerations, and provided additional and specific commitments and assurances including a significant break-fee and an offer to negotiate a nominal price increase as part of an agreed transaction. However, AkzoNobel’s Boards have consistently refused to engage and did not respond to our call or letter. As a result, we believe it is in the best interests of PPG and its shareholders to withdraw our proposal to AkzoNobel at this time.”

    Key Happenings in 2016

    • PPG completed four acquisitions, increasing its geographic and product scope: MetoKote (U.S. coatings services), Univer (Italy architectural coatings), Deutek (Romania architectural coatings, closed in January, 2017) and Futian Xinshi (China automotive refinish, closed in January, 2017).
    • The completion of business divestitures, including the flat glass and European fiber glass businesses and PPG’s ownership interest in two Asian fiber glass joint ventures,resulting in approximately $1.1 billion of total cash proceeds.
    • The completion of a $20 million investment to build an electrocoat coatings blending center at its resin manufacturing facility in Zhangjiagang, China.
    • The completion of a $10 million coatings center of excellence at its Tianjin, China, campus to serve automotive decorative parts manufacturers.
    • The completion of an $8 million investment at its global Coatings Innovation Center in Allison Park, Pennsylvania to expand technical capabilities.
