PPG Begins Automotive OEM Sealants Production in Morocco<\/b><\/p>\n

New facility initially will support local production of Renault Group vehicles<\/i><\/p>\n

TANGIER, Morocco–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nPPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced the startup of a facility in Tangier, Morocco, that will produce automotive sealants for local vehicle production. The plant, which marks the company\u2019s first automotive coatings production facility in Africa, initially will supply materials for Renault Group\u2019s Dacia brand vehicles that are produced in Tangier and Casablanca.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis facility\u2019s startup is an important step in providing local supply for automotive original equipment (OEM) vehicle manufacturers in Morocco,\u201d said Roald Johannsen, PPG vice president, automotive coatings, Europe, Middle East and Africa. \u201cThe country is already one of the largest and fastest-growing vehicle producers in Africa. Vehicle output is projected to increase significantly, with two more production facilities expected to be added by 2030.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nPolicy Center for the New South, a Moroccan think tank, estimates that automotive output rose from 100,000 vehicles in 2000 to around 400,000 vehicles in 2019. Output is expected to increase to 700,000 vehicles by 2023.\n<\/p>\n

\nPPG\u2019s Tangier facility will produce sealants that allow more flexibility in vehicle design and manufacturing. The company is assessing the local production of additional adhesive, sealant and coatings technologies to supply vehicle manufacturers that are expanding production in Morocco.\n<\/p>\n

\nPPG continues to advance the development of its automotive adhesives and sealants to allow vehicle manufacturers to meet their goals of electrification, light weighting, sustainability, and noise and vibration reduction.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis investment demonstrates our commitment to support our customers and expand in regions that are poised for growth,\u201d Johannsen said. \u201cEach day, we partner with our customers to create mutual value and focus on technical solutions that make a difference.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
