PPG announced earlier this month the opening of its China Application Innovation Center (CAIC) in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu Province, China. The facility is the company’s first cross-business research and development (R&D) center in the region, serving as a bridge between innovation and customer applications for its industrial, packaging and automotive refinish coatings businesses.
The CAIC is in the Jiangsu Yangtze River International Chemical Industrial Park, which is adjacent to PPG’s Zhangjiagang manufacturing plant. The center’s advanced, automated equipment and technologies enable PPG to simulate the diverse environments and climates where PPG paints and coatings may be applied. According to the company, this allows PPG scientists to test the properties of coating technologies and develop customized paint products and solutions for broad applications.
According to PPG, the CAIC location also will enable PPG to quickly move newly developed applications to trial production at its Zhangjiagang plant, which could enable increased speed to market for PPG innovations and accelerated product and service customization.
