Achieving ISO 14001 certification helps advance sustainable practices across all areas of our footprint, including water, waste, energy and emissions,\u201d said Juliane Hefel, PPG general manager, Specialty Coatings and Materials. \u201cBy developing a formal EMS that is ISO 14001 certified, UDC\u2019s customers can be assured that we\u2019re adhering to best practices that manage and minimize our impact on the environment. It is an important accomplishment and the direct result of the commitment and hard work by both PPG and UDC teams.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cEnvironmental stewardship has been a long-standing commitment in our corporate mission,\u201d said Janice Mahon, Universal Display SVP of Technology Commercialization & GM of Commercial Sales. \u201cWe applaud our partner PPG and UDC colleagues in Ireland for their diligence and dedication in attaining ISO 14001 certification, which validates the high standard of environmental management practices in our new Shannon facility.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nEnhancing the performance of consumer displays and lighting products, UDC\u2019s proprietary UniversalPHOLED<\/a>\u00ae materials provide energy efficiencies that are up to four times higher than conventional fluorescent OLED materials, providing power-saving advantages for longer battery operation in portable electronics and less energy consumption in larger display and lighting products.\n<\/p>\n \nPPG and UDC began their partnership in 2000, just as flat-screen displays were replacing cathode-ray tube televisions and OLEDs were in the early research and development stage. Since then, the global OLED market has grown, and PPG and UDC have expanded production capacity from PPG\u2019s Monroeville, Pa. and Barberton, Ohio, sites, to Shannon.\n<\/p>\n \nThe two companies announced in 2021 that UDC Ireland Limited and PPG were jointly establishing a new manufacturing site in Shannon for the production of UDC\u2019s highly efficient, high-performing UniversalPHOLED<\/i> materials. The new facility doubles the production capacity and diversifies the manufacturing base for UDC\u2019s phosphorescent emitters to meet growing OLED market demand and evolving industry requirements.\n<\/p>\n PPG: WE PROTECT AND BEAUTIFY THE WORLD\u00ae<\/b><\/p>\n \nAt PPG (NYSE:PPG), we work every day to develop and deliver the paints, coatings and specialty materials that our customers have trusted for 140 years.
