And we’re doing it by focusingon three things: innovation, sustainability and color. Leading In Color Besides our focus on innovation and sustainability, there is another chapter inAt PPG, Innovation is Nothing NewPPG’s success story: our color leadership. Our presence in a wide array of business and geographic markets gives us a unique vantage point from whichAs the world leader in coatings and specialty materials today, we have always ledto observe and translate emerging global color trends for our customerswith innovation. We truly believe that innovation is a rite of survival, not only forapplications—from decorative to automotive color, from residential to commercialour company, but for our customers as well.to consumer goods and industrial design.For example, automakers today rely on PPG products such as our High ThrowWe continue to develop innovative color coatings technologies for surfaces asED-7 E-Coat for improved rust protection and enhanced operating efficiency.diverse as laptop casings, roller coasters and airplanes.

But the real impact occurs when we share the advantages ofthese innovations with our customers. That’s when, together, we benefit fromincreased market share, access to new markets, and further opportunities toexpand the playing field.1 2 3. CONSUMER PRODUCTSColorful ThinkingLetting consumers introduce a little color into their lives, and a little of themselvesinto their color choices.PPG touches the lives of consumers in ways both seen and unseen. As a pioneer incolor, we engineer coatings using unique pigments and special effects that speak toconsumers, move products and build our customers’ market share and reputation for innovation. Our vast product array and application expertise mean we can add color value to a variety of surfaces including eye-popping consumer electronics, lus- trous lawn furniture, vibrant washers and dryers, brilliant barbecue grills and tool storage cabinets.Making the difference in color.The work we do in creating colorful new coatings hasproven to make a marked difference to consumers asthey choose their products—in turn making a differenceto manufacturers’ bottom lines. Studies show that colorcan be 85 percent of the driving factor in why a consumerchooses a particular product. PPG provides our cus-tomers with color consultation, color matching, trend forecasting and other colortools and services to better position themselves with their customers.And beyond.Beyond color, we work with our customers to help them achieve the desired look,feel and image for their product’s surface. What we make also helps to make productstougher and greener—with everything from solvent-free powder coatings that emitvirtually no VOCs to packaging coatings and inks that protect and decorate metal cans.PPG also has a hand in other products that end up in consumers’ hands. For example,Transitions Optical, a joint venture of PPG and Essilor, is the leading provider ofadaptive lenses to optical manufacturers.
