PPG (NYSE:PPG) today announced a strategic partnership with
SARO/Siccardi, the largest distributor of powder coatings in Italy.
The collaboration will strengthen PPG’s distribution network for
powder coatings in the Italian market and broaden customer access
to high-quality products and services.
“Entering a partnership with a customer-focused and respected
leader like SARO/Siccardi will accelerate powder growth for PPG,”
said Gianfranco Corvi, PPG market manager Italy, Industrial
Coatings. “It will leverage PPG’s status as a global leader in
powder coating technologies and SARO/Siccardi’s market knowledge
and strong presence to provide customers in the region with optimal
product protection and an efficient powder buying experience.”
Under the partnership, PPG and SARO/Siccardi will work closely
with customers to gain a better understanding of their unique
requirements and provide tailored solutions, technical support and
competitive pricing.
“We are confident that this partnership will elevate our
services to meet the growing demand for powder coatings,” said
Justin Epler, PPG general manager, Industrial Coatings, EMEA. “With
our advanced powder coating technologies and SARO/Siccardi's
extensive distribution network, our customers in Italy will have
access to a more comprehensive selection of high-quality products
and faster access to our solutions.”
“Access to PPG warehouses, laboratories and production
facilities in Italy will improve our customer service and response
times,” said Roberto Siccardi, general manager, SARO/Siccardi.
Since 2019, PPG has focused on growing its powder coating
business through strategic partnerships and acquisitions,
investments in research and development and capital improvements
that expand production capacity globally to meet rising demand for
more sustainable manufacturing solutions. Powder coatings are
generally formulated without solvents that release volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and overspray can be reclaimed and reused. Powder
coating technologies are an important part of PPG’s efforts to
achieve 50% of sales from sustainably advantaged products and
processes by 2030.
