PPG INDUSTRIES

The oil embargo and rising costs of gas and electricity revive interests in solar energy. PPG is the first major corporation to develop a flat-plate solar collector... PPG was founded in 1883 when Capt. John B. Ford and John Pitcairn started the first commercially successful plate glass factory in the United States, in Creighton, Pa. Known as the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co., the enterprise focused on innovation and quality. More than 140 years later, PPG remains dedicated to these priorities... PPG is a global team of innovators, achievers and partners united by the single belief that our paints, coatings and specialty materials enrich lives. Together, we protect and beautify the world.
