Lee Berridge PPG Industries Technical Manager adds ”While many of our competitors have greatly rationalized their technical teams in recent years, we believe that a large, well trained and proactive technical team is essential to providing a high quality of support to our customers.

It provides us with a unique ability to answer the technical needs of our customers and enhance the profitability of paintshops using our products.”
